While the Biden Administration and House Republicans make the rounds congratulating themselves for reaching a debt ceiling agreement, the debt moving forward was arguably not addressed satisfactorily. General Blain Holt talks with LTC Tony Shaffer about the massive government spending, how Washington constantly gets away with increasing the debt, excuses for throwing money around, and how these habits, if not quelled, will result in devastating consequences in the years and decades to come.
Tony also offers his take on government waste and the continued border and immigration mess to which the Biden Administration’s policies have led.
