Do either of these two candidates realize what is going down? Do they have any idea what the financial situation of the country will be in when they take office? Or do they just not want to talk about it?
Perhaps by the time the debates roll around, it will be obvious enough that even the moderators will get it. Whoever wins had better work fast, because they’re only going to be there for one term. If we’re lucky, very lucky, things will be no worse than they were under Jimmy Carter and George HW Bush. Because as bad as the 1970s were, the U.S. was a net creditor at the time. Not a debtor that needs to go deeper and deeper into debt, borrowing every day from someone who may never be repaid, to stay afloat.
