$56 trillion national debt leading to a spiraling crisis: budget watchdog warns the U.S. is walking a crumbling path | Fortune
Trump is putting the U.S. economy on a "sugar high" and leaving other people holding the bill when it comes due a decade from now, according to the CRFB.
When you hear #FauxFiscalConservative #BradFinstad complain about the debt being pushed on his grandkids, remind him that #ICE's budget has skyrocketed with #RepFinstad's approval, becoming the highest-funded US law enforcement agency, with $85 billion AND the DEBT GROWS

18-year-old with loaded shotgun detained after running toward the US Capitol
A security concern at the U.S. Capitol caused police to respond to the area on Tuesday morning.
When is it time to talk about guns ?
18 year old from Georgia wearing a tactical vest, carrying a rifle without a license with multiple rounds of ammunition arrested in DC.
Congress may not have been in session but staff and tourists were there.
Glad no one was hurt.

Let's rephrase the question ... what album issued when you were 19 still has an impact today?
John Prine's 1971 release still motivates me
"Hello In There" when I visit friends in an assisted living center,
"Sam Stone" when I think of our Vietnam vets, and "Paradise" when I think of coal mining
