Good point. It is only what has been spent, not incurred in unpaid entitlements.

Amazing isn't it especially given Pelosi's past political rhetoric about not increasing the national debt... Where do we begin? Repeal ALL of the legislation from the previous session of the US Congress and work our way backwards to prior to the Civil War. "Oh no, might slavery reappear if we do?", shrieks the leftist! LOL ... we need politicians wielding a constitutional axe to legislation gushing forth from the federal government.

Yes , it has potential to rate as bad as League of Nations / UN ( Wilson ) & Medicare / Medicaid ( Johnson ) .

That's one hell of a tab. I think I'd try to get my friend to pay that one.
