While the rich get richer on the backs of tax payers, the average tax payer is not aware of our government's debt service payments, which is currently 9% of our budget. This is the burden on the future tax payers that GOP do not want to talk about but deflect this by saying we need to cut expenses.

Imagine 9% going to debt servicing, yet when mortgage rates hit 7%, blaming Biden for causing inflation is a cheap shot.
