The US government has been in red for all but a few minutes on January 8, 1835.

In the red and beholding to the “REDS”. May DOGE dismantle the fiscal misfunction….

Thank you Tara. Ronald Reagan certainly had a way with words. It seems only yesterday that he spoke those words about the USA being a trillion dollars in debt. I believe that I remember that we were something like 8 trillion dollars in debt during GW Bush's presidency and now we are more than 36 trillion dollars in debt some 16 years later. A 7 trillion dollar government is unsustainable. God bless DOGE. May it be very successful and sustainable.

Wouldn't he be surprised that the national debt is about $36.5 trillion these days! (BTW, that stack is now 2445.5 miles high!)

President Reagan’s words hit home! He considered $1 trillion a financial disaster. What would he say about $35 trillion? His warning wasn’t heeded and now we have a major financial crisis. Praying the Trump administration can clean up the fiscal pit created in the past even though they are working against strong headwinds. Our children and grandchildren will bear the burden if they aren’t successful.

On Point Tara for sure, I remember a picture in school where someone in Europe takes a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread 🍞!!! 🤷

The need to stop out of control spending and waste is here. Now, not tomorrow.

It took 150 years to get $1 trillion in debt, and only 45 more years to reach almost $37 trillion in debt. The interest on the debt is more than the cost of government in Reagan's day.

Brilliant words from my favorite President. Drain the swamp and destroy the Democratic Party and all RINOS.

The last budget to show a surplus was President Bill Clinton.
