Skyrocket, annual interest costs would nearly triple from 229 billion today to 785 billion in 2025. And i think thats at a pretty conservative interest rate. Interest remains the Fastest Growing item in the budget but provides little in the way of benefit for our constituents. Ever hear of anybody being able to spend the interest that they have to pay . At the end of this plan, annual interest costs would be larger than the president s proposed spending for national defense, medicaid, or the combined total of all nondefense agency spending. Finally, the president s plan adds 8. 5 trillion to the debt. Over the next ten years, accumulative overspending would amount to 5. 7 trillion in new debt, with the federal debt climbing to 26. 3 trillion in 2025. Based on projected population figures, this would mean every man, woman and child in america would owe almost 76,000 in payments on president obamas debt. Thats compared to 56,000 per person today. Thats 20,000 per person more that everybo

Nbc news capitol hill correspondent and host of way too early, kasie hunt back with us. And joe, its book day for you. Happy book day. Well get to that in a moment but first, a lot happened yesterday to clear the way for the Trump Administration to actually recognize joe biden as the president elect. Lets go through how things played out. It started with the state of michigans top election board voting yesterday to certify president elect joe bidens win over President Trump with a margin of more than 154,000 votes. Three out of four Board Members including one republican voted to certify the election results. The other gop board member withheld his vote.

The nominee to be the next f. B. I. Director. Then the privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board i wanted a representative look at american life, so i eeded politics, business, entertainment, food, finance, art. I also was interested in this recurring pattern which you see and oprah and with jayz and sam walton. Begin very eally humble places and are not unlike characters, but who reinvent themselves as something new and find a new idea that is new riveting to americans. Hrough that they build an empire. And they cant stop building it. Almost like imperative like with a corporation you have to keep growing. As a person or brand you have to going but then the language becomes a parody and they no to be producing something good. They are just continuing to produce. Gingrich writes book after book. Oprah is on the cover of every issue of her magazine. So, they become the celebrities hat we are familiar with who are dominating our imaginations and in a way have come to the institutions t
Him, the mother of his children. When it comes to marriage, a man doesnt want to come home from a hard day of work and looking at a sexy wife lying on the couch saying yes, he does.

And it is still like you cant stop discovering new things about her, when you look at her body of work. Oh, i know. You go back and a lot of people just look at joan rivers and what she has done, the snarky comments she has made on red carpets and as the New York Times described so well, she has a career that should never be eclipsed by that. She was a trail blazer. You go back and read what the New York Times wrote about her

Last let me say in my six years here in addition to not working on a number of bipartisan proposals on criminal Justice Reform you have repeatedly voted against congressional attempts to prohibit torture in the military on text or the interrogation context and to defend enhanced interrogation practices. Are you clear now that our statutes prohibit torture and if the president were to rover yid that clear Legal Authority what actions would you take . On your previous question i would note the federal prison population has already dropped 10 or more percent and will drop
another 10,000 this year. What is happening now is reducing the federal population. This law only dealt with the federal prison population. And th
