In Debt but Rich

How is it that the government of the United States ended in a $17,216,241,789,218.17 debt? Really we are at fault of letting them administer our countries money. Now where is all this money being spent, and what is really happening with our tax money? Well, the US is one of the countries that spend the most in military as this picture shows.

Now what if they would cut the budget they have for military security by half, it would allow us to catch up on that debt. Not only that, our money should be better distributed in other areas where it is much more needed; education, welfare, and jobs. I would strongly agree with the writer of DeploSpeak when she stated,”I question whether it will take a significant government shutdown and default to force them to restructure”. Like if it was that simple just to get out of the debt one day to another. 

We are in need of some serious budgeting to allow money to go in all directions and grow on all sides not just military force.

It will take the effort of all of us to make sure we keep the government on point of what they spend our money, and how it is spent. 

Only after managing our debt will we be able to concentrate in building this country’s economy. It should not be up to them how the money flouts around. We should also bring back all the troops that are patrolling, on missions or projects. What are we doing trying to fix another countries problems when at home it is worse than ever.
