Congratulations Washington, You Just Topped $14 Trillion in Federal Debt

Congratulations Washington. In your efforts to be reckless with this great Republic's future, you have taken us far deeper than one could imagine, borrowing money that has already been borrowed time and again. The national debt is now over $14 trillion officially as wasteful spending with the promise of stimulus has led to the fastest deepening of the debt over the last two years that I have seen in my lifetime.

The US Treasury announced on December 31, 2010, the national debt officially hit $14 trillion. What a way to start the new year. Guess what? This new Republican House of Representatives are going to have some tough choices to make as the debt ceiling draws near. Will they make the cuts immediately and begin lowing this monster or will they vote to increase the debt ceiling?
