“Ten Trillion and Counting,” presented by Frontline provides quite a picture of America’s national debt as it surpasses the trillion dollar mark. They ponder the financial well being of current and future retirees while also exposing on how America got into this mess, and what the Obama administration plans to do during his term. America is able to close the gap year to year in its national budget by selling bonds and T-bills. Foreigner countries who continually purchase these obligations are beginning to grow. Much like the Bush administration, the Obama administration has started borrowing big with plans to cut the budget years down the road. It is clear for anyone to see that this borrowing and the future promises of cutting cannot go

“More than $17 trillion in national debt shows how badly we need structural reforms to stop bankrupting our kids and grandkids.”

Ted Cruz’s approach to the situation is cut the government spendings and lower the national debt. The debt ceiling is rapidly approaching; Ted has argued over not to raise the limit, but use this time to start large cuts in government spending. Ted Cruz is very much so against any government spending. Ted would even go on to say that “It’s a sad statement that the easiest way to get bipartisan agreement in Washington is to increase spending, debt, and taxes” (Patten, 2013). Cruz also oppose any measure to cut military pensions by just 1 percent. This would only cut around 23 billion dollars from the national debt, but it is a start, which Ted Cruz opposes. When confronted by this, he would describe himself as “profoundly optimistic” in weather American can get back on track (Patten, 2013).

Believing we can make a change to solve America's problems. That every citizen should thank a soldier when they see one. He is a man who was raised in Montana in the back woods, and urges that people who try to make changes to other states. Where those people have never gone before shouldn’t. People from that state should decide if they want change or not, he sees what Trumps message is even if it’s a little blurry at sometimes.

Fixing the national debt is a coservercal issue within our government. Since the two parties have opposing views on how to fix it, it creates gridlock on the process of creating a plan to reduce it. (Perdue, 2015) Our federal government debt has extensively tripled since the year 2000 (see appendix A) (Historical Debt Outstanding Annual 2000-2015,2015), today our debt is a tad bit over nineteen billion. (U.S.NationalDebtClock.org , 2016) We have arrived at his point through the imbalance between revenues and spending, fueled by ever-high interest rates. Which will approximately result with us reaching ninety percent of GDP. (Greife, 2010) The government has no revenue. Therefore, the money it receives comes from the people and the

Instead of raising the debt ceiling to around $15.4 Trillion dollars, Mr. Obama should have placed at least the same amount of spending cuts as the proposed raised debt ceiling, if not more.

During the Donald Trump campaign, he proposed that he would build a wall at the Mexican border to keep immigrants from crossing

Debt is nothing new to the United States government. Ever since 1790 when Alexander Hamilton successfully convinced the congress to assume state debt the US has had a constant record of debt. This type of budget issue has been a constant leadership challenge to every US President. The Obama administration continues this trend of deficit and debt which has created the highest total federal debt in US history. . There are unique challenges and decisions every US President has had to make in regards to the budget and the economic success of the United States. Whether you agree or disagree with decisions made by President Obama there is a particular pressure that comes with trying to work across party lines to get support from those who disagree with his priorities. When President Obama entered office he took over a historically high debt and deficit during a time of an economic disaster. The new President inherited the challenge of balancing the budget and reducing debt while still spending to increase future economic growth. Though there are many aspects of concern regarding the federal budget, Obama’s main efforts coming into the White House were to increase tax revenue, by closing loopholes for the wealthy and adjusting previous tax measures, while reducing income inequality, increasing educational spending and providing universal health care.

There are different ideas on how to deal with America’s national debt. An option that

Trump has planned to take control of America's illegal immigration and to protect America from taking in enemy migrants from other countries by having 2 proposals when he became elected president. And those proposals are the Deportation policy and the Travel ban.

In today’s society, the national debt is a hot topic. Many, like myself, view the national debt as a problem. However, though some oppose the national debt in words, their actions indicate otherwise. To illustrate, statistics show that the national debt has jumped from “$925 billion in 1982 to almost $14.4 trillion in 2017” (Benjamin 701). I truly believe the national debt to be a hinderance to America with significant side effects.

Both Clinton and Trump talk about investing in infrastructure, but only Clinton has a realistic way of raising the money to pay for it. The Democrat proposes tax cuts for the middle class and encouraging job creation in renewable energy and high-tech industries. The Republican relies on the familiar mantra of tax cuts for the wealthy, reducing regulations and repealing the inheritance tax that only applies now to estates worth more than $5.45 million. His pledges to revive the coal and steel industries are fantasies.

Democrats don’t seek to cripple the nation with debt. But they do aim to preserve
