In Support of Justice>>>>>

A Spanish judge has just decided to proceed with a case against Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, prosecuting them for torture at Guantanamo.


The Spanish legislature can be expected to try to block the case, unless perhaps they hear our voices loudly and clearly enough.

 
Click here to sign the letter we will deliver to Spain.

We began this effort in 2011, visiting Spanish embassies, generating media and placing advertisements in Spain, and communicating our appreciation for Spanish efforts to prosecute U.S. torturers. Now we need another big push.


Please sign the letter now!

After signing the petition, please forward this message to your friends. You can also share it from the webpage after taking the action yourself.

This is how Greed and Corruption is Destroying the American Dream.
Here's your receipt for the tax breaks and tax subsidies that you and other Americans gave to Walmart and the Walton family last year.
Your receipt for Walmart's 2013 tax breaks and tax subsidies. Total: $7.8 billion.

Walmart made $16 billion in 2013. The Walton family is worth nearly $150 billion
-- 
more than the wealth of 49 million American families combined

This Also Begs The Question--How Long Can America Continue This Way, Before We Become A Third World Country, instead of World Leader????????????????? Which is Why I am supporting this cause--The Middle Class, Our Backbone, Is Worth Saving.

Obamacare Headline in Rural Arkansas

by Arkshep for Arkshep

  •  
In a real life example of how Obamacare is changing everything, our local newspaper ran an article about the closing of the 9th Street Ministry Medical Clinic.
"It was announced last week that 9th Street Ministries will be concluding their medical clinic mission, which had been ongoing monthly to offer free medical services to those in need since first starting in 1998. The final day for the medical clinic will be Thursday, April 24, and that will conclude the mission that has been in place for almost 16 years."
The article tells how the ministry has been operating once a month for years to give people healthcare on a first come, first served basis.  This care was provided by volunteers. My mother actually volunteered at the clinic and they would see as many as 300 a day.  Many of these people would wait all day for the chance to see a doctor.  Most of the patients were people who could not afford to see a doctor, but were not eligible for medicaid or medicare.  Why would they close this clinic down?
"We’ve gone from seeing around 300 people a month on a regular basis, but as people were enrolling in Obamacare, the numbers we were seeing have dropped. We were down to 80 people that came through the medical clinic in February, all the way down to three people at the medical clinic in March. Our services won’t be needed anymore, and this will conclude our mission.”
We live in one of the most conservative places in Arkansas.  The Repub's want to tell those people that once a month waiting all day for a chance to see a doctor was good enough.  Thankfully, President Obama did not think so.
Here is the link to the article: http://www.menastar.com/


THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS--THIS IS WHY I AM FOR VOTING EACH AND EVERY REPUBLICAN OUT OF OFFICE!! TOO MANY ARE FIGHTING FOR OIL COMPANIES RIGHT TO POLLUTE AND TOO MANY ARE FIGHTING FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES RIGHT TO RIP PEOPLE OFF--BY TAKING THEIR INSURANCE AWAY JUST WHEN THEY NEED IT THE MOST.

More evidence Obamacare is working to provide the health care people need

by Joan McCarter

  •        
  •   
Female Physician holding bottle of pills up to camera, focus on pills.
Bang-up statistics for rates of insurance under Obamacare are one thing, but for the truly human benefit of the law, you have to look deeper. And here's an excellent example: Actual health care, in the form of prescription drugs, is getting to the people who need it.
 
People who signed up early for insurance through the new marketplaces were more likely to be prescribed drugs to treat pain, depression and H.I.V. and were less likely to need contraceptives, according to a new study that provides a much-anticipated look at the population that signed up for coverage under the new health care law. […]
The study, to be released Wednesday by the major pharmacy-benefits manager Express Scripts, suggests that early enrollees face more serious health problems and are older than those covered by their employers. The study also showed a higher use of specialty drugs, which are often used to treat diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis; the use of such drugs could hint at more costly medical problems.[…]
In addition to finding increased use of drugs to treat pain, seizures and depression, the study also found that 6 in every 1,000 prescriptions in the marketplace plans were for drugs that treat H.I.V., a number that was nearly four times the figure among those with employer coverage.
That's because, of course, people with HIV, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis could have been barred from getting health insurance before the law. It's not terribly surprising that the first enrollees out of the gates—and the first to be registering prescriptions—would be the people with serious, chronic conditions that kept them out of the market previously. As the study's authors write, "This early analysis suggests this new benefit is providing patients with access to the medication they need."
That's just one more thing Republicans want to shut down with repeal: people getting the treatments they need to survive.

This Is Why

I Support Our President---This Is Why Need To Keep the Senate Democrat--This is Why We Need To Achieve a Democratic House! I know and understand and respect the fact that many of my fellow Independents still hold onto the Independence by voting a split ticket, Unfortunately that is only causing grid lock, We Independents Need and Must Unite behind the Democrats, as long as the Republican Party is controlled by the Religious Right (Christian Extremists) and the Tea Party( Haters) >>>>>This Email>>>>
President Obama: "When women succeed, America succeeds."
Kay Morrison is 90 years old. And in 1943, when she worked as a journeyman welder on the assembly line at Kaiser Shipyard #2 in Richmond, California, she earned the same wage as the man working the graveyard shift alongside her.
As Kay said, "it can be the same today."
And yet, on average, full-time working women earn just 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Earning equal pay starts with a conversation -- and that's why, this week, President Obama signed an executive order prohibiting federal contractors from retaliating against employees who choose to discuss their pay.
In 2014, it's time for equal pay for equal work.

Because There Are Many White Men Who Read This Such as  Brian Hogan, who hides behind his children of Facebook, who are so angry they want to impeach the president, for what? Actions such as this.

I got this very important email that is very worth sharing--So I am>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey -
I just got this email from Demand Progress about Comcast's jerk of a lobbyist. We need to make sure everyone sees this to help fight back against this disastrous merger with Time Warner.
You'd think Comcast super-lobbyist David Cohen might show some class. Maybe he'd even be humble knowing that 52 percent of Americans think Comcast's merger with Time Warner is a bad idea.
Instead, Cohen says he hasn’t heard any “rational, knowledgeable voices” opposed to the merger.
So much for humble.
Let's tell David Cohen that millions of very knowledgeable, very rational people oppose this merger: http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/Cohen/?referring_akid=a10386458.1375214.pdRfT1&source=auto-taf
It’s rational to oppose giving Comcast an untold amount of market power. And it's rational to be weary of the implications for privacy, freedom of speech, and what's left of our open Internet.
And we remember when Comcast got busted for violating Net Neutrality--which makes us pretty knowledgeable. We also know about their data caps and their plans for complete media domination. And we also know Comcast was just voted the worst company in America!
Let's wipe that smirk off Cohen's face.
Click here to add your name to our letter to Comcast's top lobbyist, David Cohen: http://act.demandprogress.org/letter/Cohen/?referring_akid=a10386458.1375214.pdRfT1&source=auto-taf
We'll pass on your very knowledgeable and rational message that this merger is awful.
Thank you for your passion,
-The Demand Progress Team

Ohio Unite, once again, to vote Kasich out of office

This is why>>>>
Since taking office, Governor Kasich has cut more than over $500 million from Ohio’s public schools and increased funding for failing charter schools.  In recent days, almost every major newspaper in Ohio has run a story or an editorial about this flawed system. We’ve pointed to the governor’s cuts to public education for some time. Check out what others are saying about the failing charter schools into which our tax dollars are flowing:
“Charter schools have changed the landscape of public education in Ohio. For the most part, the changes have worked to the detriment of traditional public school districts. As a three-part report in the Beacon Journal this week demonstrates, this unfortunate result is due largely to state laws that have imposed financial burdens on districts without ensuring consistent oversight and accountability for the use of public funds by privately operated charter schools.” Click here to sign our petition asking Governor Kasich to support public education.
“While Ohio lawmakers fail to take steps to hold charter schools more accountable for how they use millions of dollars in tax money, evidence mounts that this lax approach yields bad results……. This has left little way to judge whether public money is being spent reasonably, and the abysmal academic track record of some of the biggest recipients suggests it often isn’t.” Click here to sign our petition asking Governor Kasich to support public education.
Democratic lawmakers announced legislation Tuesday that would require increased scrutiny and access to certain records of charter schools that receive public funding.
“’The growing problem is we don’t know how most of these taxpayer dollars are being spent,’(State Senator Joe) Schiavoni said.

Too Late>>>>>>

RNC, Please Don’t
Peruse any of the various stories about the Republican National Committee considering Las Vegas for the 2016 convention and the stories will read as if the GOP is going open handed to its sugar daddy, Sheldon Adelson.

Already, Republicans across the nation are tripping over themselves in the rush to bask in Mr. Adelson’s presence and pledge their undying loyalty to him. Many of these Republicans are willing to ban online gambling to further Mr. Adelson’s business interests. He owns casinos.

It is embarrassing. A party that is trying to show it represents Main Street, not Wall Street, and the middle class, not the American aristocracy, should not put itself in a position where all the news stories suggest they want a convention in Vegas to placate a donor...According to the Red State.

Too Late, the GOP has already proven that they are Anti-Middle Class by Fighting ObamaCare and by Weakening/ Disabling Unions and by fighting against repairing the infrastructure of the United States and by cuts in Education funding and by each and every one of their members who cut  employees hours for their own profit and by bankrupting our youth with student loan debt and by fighting any raises in the minimum wage and by causing the Government Shut down that was and by cutting each and every service that the poor need in order to provide tax cuts for the very rich. So Yes, thanks to the Supreme Court They do have to 'Kiss Their Sugar Daddy's Ring'.

United State of America--When Will Enough Be Enough????

 
By Mark Follman
Details are still emerging as to exactly how and why Army Spec. Ivan Lopez shot 3 people to death and injured 16 others in a rampage on Wednesday, but we already know enough to be certain about one thing: We've seen this grim story before, and not just literally at Fort Hood, the site of a previous bloodbath in 2009. As the data from our in-depth investigation of mass shootings in America shows, Lopez fits a familiar profile for perpetrators of this type of crime. Here's how his background and actions echo those of many mass shooters we analyzed from 67 cases over the past three decades. [READ MORE]
 Yet again, Another soldier comes home with Post-Dramatic Stress-- who does not get the treatment he needs, but is able to legally purchase any weapon with enough ammo to start his own war.

WHAT IS THE NRA'S SOLUTION--MORE GUNS AND AMMO FOR MORE PEOPLE!! WHY--$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all, the NRA is $$$Funded$$$ by Weapon Manufacturers. The more weapons and ammo that is bought, the more $$$$MONEY$$$ they make and donate to the NRA, who in turn donate it to Conservative Lobbyist and Conservative Spin Doctors--Otherwise Known as Television Evangelists. THIS IS THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE OF CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANITY--REPUBLICAN PARTY--NRA, WHO ARE ALL  BOUND TOGETHER BY THE LOVE OF $$$MONEY$$$, WHILE HIDING BEHIND THE CROSS OF JESUS.

IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THE GROSS IN-JUSTICE HAPPENED TO DR. WU. After all, it was 1957. Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House. Republican Joseph McCarthy was free to terrorize every who may or may not have ever been a member of the Communist Party. It was a White Male Heterosexual Christian America, where everyone else was a Second Class Citizen who was suppose to be happy with the scraps from their table.

THIS IS ALSO WHY SO MANY ARE NOW ARMING UP--THEY ARE TERRIFIED ABOUT BECOMING THE MINORITY--AFTER ALL, LOOK HOW THEY--WHITE MALE HETROSEXUAL CHRISTIANS USED AND ABUSED OTHERS WHEN THEY WERE THE MAJORITY--THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF BECOMING THE PRESECUTED MINORITY.

Chien-Shiung Wu
"Chien-Shiung Wu took a different route to support the war effort. The Chinese-born American was already in her thirties and teaching physics at both Princeton University in New Jersey and Smith College in Massachusetts. Her work garnered the attention of the U.S. Government during WWII and was invited to work on the Army’s secretive Manhattan Project at Columbia University. Dr. Wu helped developed the process that enabled the enrichment of uranium ore to produce large enough quantities to make the atomic bomb. Later she discovered a principle in physics which overthrew a then widely held belief about the law of symmetry. The discovery earned the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1957, but only Dr. Wu’s two male colleagues were given the credit. She spent the rest of her life lecturing and encouraging women to participate in science. The “First Lady of Physics” died in New York in 1997."
If both her male colleagues received Nobel Prize in Physics--Dr. Wu should have too. This gross In-Justice needs and must be corrected.

This In-justice Needs and Must Be Corrected By Awarding Her-- Her Long Over Due Nobel Prize, Now--Post-Harmoniously. After all, If a Medal Of Honor can be awarded after a person dies, so should the Nobel Prizes.

Oklahoma company won't be fined for pipeline without permit

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A company that operated a natural gas pipeline for more than two years without a permit will not be fined by the state Public Service Commission. The pipeline by Hiland Operating LLC of Enid, Okla., was completed in 2010. The company told the commission in May 2012 that it did not have a permit. The Bismarck Tribune reports that a company can be fined up to $10,000 per day for "willfully building an energy conversion facility or transmission line without a permit," with the total fine not to exceed $200,000. Commissioners say they don't think the violation was intentional and fining Hiland might deter other companies from considering investment in North Dakota.
The Commission's statutory responsibilities concerning pipelines in North Dakota include:
  • Establishment and enforcement of rates or charges and regulations by common pipeline carriers for receiving, gathering, transporting, loading, delivering, and incident storing of crude petroleum, coal or gas purchased or sold in North Dakota; and
  • Enforcement of safety requirements for intrastate distribution and transmission of natural gas.

Duties of the North Dakota Public Service Commissioners: The Commission is comprised of three Commissioners who are elected on a statewide basis to staggered six-year terms. The Commission was established before North Dakota became a state. Dakota Territory established a Board of Railroad Commissioners in ... more

In Support of Freedom of Speech and In Support of Telling The Truth>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

             Did you catch MSNBC tonight?  (March 19, 2014)
Al Sharpton had a long segment on our Medicaid campaign. He captured how outrageous it is that Gov. Bobby Jindal is blocking health care for hundreds of thousands of his constituents—while his state tries to force down our billboard criticizing him.
MoveOn on MSNBC tonight
Sure, you might expect to hear a sympathetic take on MSNBC. But this story has earned attention from some unexpected folks too. A high-profile conservative legal scholar, Eugene Volokh, published a sharp piece in The Washington Post today about our standoff with Gov. Jindal's administration that concluded: "I expect the case to be promptly thrown out of court; and I hope [Lieutenant Governor Jay] Dardenne gets some political grief from voters for trying to suppress criticism this way."
We're working night and day to keep the heat on—not just in Louisiana but in all the Republican-led states where millions of Americans are going without the health care they deserve. This fight will continue.....
After all, as the saying goes Freedom Cannot Defend Itself, so Someone Must Defend it.

In Support of Freedom of Speech>>>

Personally, I find it very ironic, but true to Republican Party form. They would pull a we do unto you, but you had better not do unto us--We have Freedom of Speech and the Right to Tell you what you can or can not say>>>>This Is why I am passing on this Email from MoveOn>>>

Breaking news: The state of Louisiana is suing MoveOn.org in federal court.1 They're trying to force us to take down a billboard that calls out Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal—an aspiring presidential candidate—for denying health care to 242,000 people.
After carefully discussing the matter with our lawyers, we've made a decision: We're leaving our billboard up—even if we have to take this fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
This lawsuit is unprecedented in MoveOn's sixteen-year history. And it will take all of us to respond. Normally, we ask for folks to donate when they can—and we know that not everyone can give every time. But today, we're urgently asking all MoveOn members to step up to the plate and help with a monthly contribution starting now.
Can you donate as little as $5 a month—or as much as you can afford—to make sure MoveOn has the resources we need to defend ourselves in court and keep our work going?


We need to go all-in to fight this lawsuit. But, at the same time, we simply can't de-fund our campaigns in the other 24 states where Republicans are blocking their own people from getting Medicaid. And our other critical work needs to be maintained.
 
Without the resources we need to fight back, this legal battle could amount to a costly distraction from our real work. But on the other hand, if we can muster a full response and keep our core campaigning going, it's actually great news because:
1. We've drawn a future presidential candidate into a fight over health care—on our terms.
2. This lawsuit is completely baseless. As Tulane University constitutional law professor Keith Werhan said last week: "The government can't legally silence those who are criticizing them."2
3. The deeper the state of Louisiana takes this—and the more national press we get—the more attention we bring to the real substance. Which is that Gov. Bobby Jindal—who wants to be president someday—is denying health coverage to 242,000 Louisianans.
This is a big moment for MoveOn—and we're asking MoveOn members to dig deep right now with a monthly contribution so we can rise to the challenge. Can you chip in
as much as you can spare each month to help MoveOn during this pivotal moment?



I hope that you too also believe in Freedom of Speech as much as I do. After all, the lies that the Republicans repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat about our President Barack Obama and Various Democratic Senators and Democratic Reps and Democratic Governors--It is sad that they would sue to take down a billboard for daring to tell the Truth about a Republican Governor--with all the lies they spread everywhere from Facebook to other books to their own news network--otherwise known as Fox News.

On This Ash Wednesday>>>>

Let us Hope and Pray that People have better things to do than to be CONNED Into seeing the movie--"Son of God". Why do I say that--that is simple, because it is the Truth.


Let us examine the facts---First,The movie has the same exact people from the mini-series--"The Bible", the same writers, directors, editors, producers, cast--with two exceptions.


Secondly, even though the movie boasts of spectacular special effects, its post-production was done in record time--Why the record time; even odds all they had to do was to slice the character of Satan out and replace him with the new female character, which thanks to computers--even an amateur can do-add a new scene or two and many a Christian Fool believes they are seeing a new movie--so sad--so sad.


THIS BEGS THE QUESTION WHY PAY $10 TO SEE A MOVIE WHEN YOU ALREADY SEEN AND POSSIBLY OWN THE MINI-SERIES?  SINCE THE MOVIE CAME IN SECOND AT THE BOX OFFICE on OPENING WEEKEND--MANY MANY SUCKERS WERE CONNED INTO PAY TO SEE A MOVIE THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY SEEN FOR FREE AT HOME and probably own. AS IF--AS IF THAT WAS THE WILL OF GOD--TO TAKE PEOPLE FOR THEIR MONEY.


WHY--OH WHY??? WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY MOVIES OUT THERE THAT ARE ORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS--WHY OH WHY PAY TO SEE A REPEAT???????


AS ROMA DOWNING AND HUSBAND MARK BURNETT ARE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE  LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK WITH THESE SUCKERS MONEY--WITH AN AMEN AND GLORY HALILUJIH AS IF THAT WAS THE WILL OF GOD--TO PLAY PEOPLE FOR FOOLS--AS IF IT WAS NOT WRITTEN--FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED, SO FREELY GIVE.


Ooooops, I forgot, to point out the facts that some of the most non-Christian acts are done by Christians is persecuting them for their Righteousness. After all, the Party line is still the World Hates Us (Christians) as if the world is the in-group and Christians are the Out-Group--As If There are as many Radio Stations dedicated to other religions as there are to the Christian Religion--NOT!!!!! As If There are as many holy men of other faiths preaching on television as Christian Evangelists--NOT!!!!!  As if a person of any other faith than Christian has a prayer of being elected into the White House-NOT Yet.  But Fear Not--Keep Up This Bullying--and Persecution Will Come as Churches continue to loss more and more members, since not everyone wants to become a 'Bully', nor to embrace INTolerence and Hate.

Another Cause Worthy of Support>>>>

I am passing on this email in support of this excellent cause, because here in the United States of America, We do have Freedom of Religion--We Are a Secular Nation, We Were Always A Secular Nation and We Shall Continue to Be a Secular Nation. After all, today the majority of U.S. Citizens are Christian, tomorrow--who knows. If we start enforcing Christian Doctrine today, what Doctrine will be enforced tomorrow?? This is Why we must stay a Secular Nation.

Take Action! Tell Congress Not to Send Federal Funds to Religious Schools

Keep Religious Institutions Out of the Public Piggy Bank!

The Religious Right wants billions of dollars of federal education funds to line the pockets of private religious schools. Senator Alexander (R-TN) and Rep. Messer (R-IN-06) introduced the “Scholarships for Kids Act” redirecting $24 billion in federal education funds to private schools, including religious schools.  Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) introduced the Creating Hope and Opportunity for Individuals and Communities through Education, or “CHOICE Act
” which redirects an additional $11 billion to private and religious schools.
Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote "The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this… No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions.” Vouchers also infringe on one of the most dearly held principles of religious freedom, that the government should not compel any citizen to support a religion with which he or she disagrees, or even a religion with which he or she does agree.

Voucher programs, like those proposed by these bills, violate these central tenets of our Constitution: they use taxpayer money to fund religious education. Tell Congress this is unacceptable.
Write Your Senator and Representative!

Stand up against public funded religious education! Tell your Senator and Representative that public funds should never support religious schools.

Big Polluters have one thing and only one thing on their minds – the bottom line. They’re not thinking about the people, plants and animals of North Carolina and West Virginia.

Big Polluters have one thing and only one thing on their minds – the bottom line.
They’re not thinking about the people, plants and animals of North Carolina and West Virginia that are suffering from disastrous coal ash and chemical spills into their rivers and drinking water. They’re too blinded by dollar signs to do something about the horrific, long-term effects of carbon pollution on Creation and our families.
The good news? The EPA’s first-ever standards for carbon pollution from new power plants would make new plants at least 60% cleaner than today’s average coal plant. It will move us away from coal and toward cleaner, modern technology.
The bad news? The worst offenders will use Congress to fight tooth and nail to block these clean air safeguards.
We’ve got to stand up to the polluters and get Congress to pass these critical EPA standards for the sake of Creation. Will you make sure IPL is ready by helping us reach our goal of $8,500 by February 28?
You can be sure that Big Oil and Big Coal are getting ready to do what they’re best at: spending gobs of money to try to drown out our voices.
But we will be heard.
This is time to show just what a network of the faithful can do protect Creation.
Dirty polluters want to dismantle the EPA and prevent any regulation that would limit carbon pollution – and it’s up to us to stop them.
With only a few days to go, we still have $5,912 to raise to meet our goal of $8,500. Can you give $5 or more today to ensure that we have the resources necessary to protect Creation from Big Polluters?
Thank you for helping us continue to tell the truth about carbon pollution.

               Minimum Wage -- Why does it matter?
You've heard the recent talk from both sides regarding raising the minimum wage.  So what's the big deal?

Did you know that the average age of someone earning the minimum wage is 35?  That a full-time employee earning the minimum wage takes home only $14,500 annually?  Or that the federal minimum wage would be $10.74 today if it had been tied to inflation?

Next week ADA organizers will be focusing on actions in their communities to help educate the public and elected officials about the need to raise the minimum wage.  Check out this excellent article, The Case for a Higher Minimum Wage, to learn more about why this is a critical step that we need to take as a nation to help workers, and our economy prosper.

After all, the more people paying into the economy, instead of collecting from--the better it is for us all--WE NEED MORE WIN-WIN-WIN

The newest numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirm that more work needs to be done to address our fiscal challenges.
Although some are touting the fact that deficits will fall this year and next, they are coming down from levels not seen since the end of World War II and will begin growing again within two years. CBO also forecasts that deficits will still be nearly $1.7 trillion larger over the next decade compared to previous projections, despite the short-term improvements.
We cannot let up in getting deficits and debt under control. In fact, we need to renew our efforts. That’s why I ask that you strongly encourage your friends and family to sign The Citizen’s Petition to Fix the Debt. A surge of support will show policymakers we aren’t ready to let them off the hook.
Share the Citizen’s Petition to Fix the Debt today with friends and family and encourage their support. Share the link, tell them why you signed the petition in the first place and that the debt is still a problem that must be addressed.
CBO projects public debt will reach 79 percent of the economy in 2024, which is more than double the historical average in the post-war era, and will continue on an upward trajectory thereafter. CBO also warns that our large and growing levels of debt could harm the economy.
Check out more highlights of the CBO study and you will see that we must continue the fight to Fix the Debt.
