It seems the modern strategy for dealing with the national debt is to just ignore it and spend more.
Perhaps we need a different strategy. Thomas Jefferson had one – cut the size of government and pay off the debt. Jefferson understood something most politicians today don’t. Debt is not a “public blessing.”
Unlike every modern president, we take the view that reducing the size of the #nationaldebt is far better than expanding it. @mmaharrey10th pic.twitter.com/RnuxSMcEyI
