It’s no secret that Washington D.C. has given up on fiscal sanity.
But there are still elected officials who do their best to try to keep our fiscal house in order.
Thomas Massie is one of them.
In a tweet on November 27, 2019, Massie highlighted D.C’s fiscal negligence over multiple decades.
He tweeted, “The national debt has been doubling every 10 years: ‘89 $2.9T ‘99 $5.7T ‘09 $11.9T ‘19 $23T At this rate, in about 20 yrs, the debt will be about $100 trillion. In the absence of something cataclysmic, many will be as numb to $100 T as they are to $23 T. This can’t end well.”
