According2Sam #168 'Where's the Money'

1 year ago

Over the past 23 years the United States has added $28 trillion to the national debt. What did we get for that money? If we added $28 trillion to our national debt and had the best schools in the world, the best infrastructure, the safest cities, at least we could point to those things as something we got for the money. However, we don't have the best schools in the world, the best infrastructure, or the safest cities. Looking at what has happened to the United States over the past two decades I think it would be safe to say that the country has become measurably worse by every metric while we have added $28 trillion to our national debt, so it raises some questions that every American should be asking: Where's the money? Where did it go? If the United States is not enjoying the benefits of all of that cash, who is? Why is it harder than ever for middle class families to make ends meet, but there's hundreds of billions for foreign aid, foreign wars, and foreigners? Finally, what does Donald Trump have to do with all of this? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #168.
