Just the interest on that alone is greater than the Gross Domestic Product of some nations. He didnt talk about cutting a single Government Program or the increase of spending. This is the only nonpartisan thing that happened is spending. You can always get agreement on more. The second to the decline of great nations into superpowers and empires is uncontrolled immigration without assimilation. We want people to come to america but we want them to come legally and in an orderly fashion and then to be assimilated like the immigrants of the pasemigran
