LETTERS TO TH E EDITOR

Representative Baumgartner recently wrote “our country is on an unsustainable spending path. We are now over $38 trillion in debt and we are spending more on interest payments than we spend on our military. That’s not good for our country right now and it’s terrible and unfair to future generations.”

This is entirely true. I couldn’t possibly agree more. Which makes it all the more infuriating that he’s done nothing during his time in Congress to address this – indeed, he’s voted repeatedly to make matters worse. Our national debt increased by $2 TRILLION in less than a year and a quarter, while every word the administration says would have us think things are improving.
