2025
Since my early educational days in High School twelve years ago the National Debt has changed a lot. It took a while after the coming of the fiscal cliff for republicans and democrats to decide how to take action to control the National Debt. After the fiscal cliff rolled around there was a lot of angry debates in congress as to what to do. They finally decided to hit the storm head on and handle the debt crisis, even though it was really difficult at first. After the elected officials decided on a course of action they took their ideas to Obama and finally settled on a plan to drastically cut government spending , while funding businesses that had a strong foreign market increasing the amount of exports we used to have and that helped to bring the debt down.
Since then taxes have gone up, but only for about a ten year period, enough to get the debt to a manageable point. That made it really difficult to get through college, I'm living paycheck to paycheck basically but do not used credit cards and am not in debt. Although recently I have been able to start saving money in the bank for a house. So overall getting to where we are as a nation now was difficult, but I believe that is was better to go through that tough period in order to come out alive and intact But we still have a pretty large debt, are my children going to have to go through the same things I had to because of that? Or will the leadership in America continue to make pretty good decisions and save our nation?
