crickets from the GOP and the fiscal conservatives
How strong is a bankrupt nation. US bond rating will be lowered soon. Funding deficit will get very expensive. Government spending including military will need to be slashed. This is a national security threat. A weak nation cannot defend itself. GOP are speeding US to bankruptcy
With interest rates this high and the economy struggling this makes complete sense...
We need a balanced budget and no more selfish spending from democrats!
Waiting for the TEA party folks to storm Washington

Great job Trump
