If I ever become a single issue voter it will be on national debt.

You wouldn't have candidates to vote for. Plenty of candidates say they are against debt, but who actually lays out a plan that balances the budget (in the near term, not five years from now)?

I don't disagree, but if one is going principled - not spending like a drunken sailor is a pretty solid place to plant ones flag. ND40 is right about the value of the US dollar, at some point the inability to repay our creditors will come home to roost.

It's a variation of the "I don't approve of Congress but I keep voting for my Congressman" problem.

I'm not connecting the dots on that. Any attempt at fiscal responsibility is better than no attempt at it, which is what we have now.

Didn't Trump ask each of his cabinet members to find 5% to cut from their budgets? I haven't heard anything about that lately.

Maybe not you, but in general people fuss about what Congress does but then reward (re-elect) the people there who did it. So what's the political price for a deficit? Virtually nothing.

Making it sufficiently painful for all sides for failing to pass a balanced budget would be a great start - like suspending pay and congressional sequester would be at the top of my list. Your point is taken however, any balanced budget act would have to come with meaningful consequences for failing to adhere to it.

I think we can all agree that there's no chance of congress ever passing a bill that could potentially affect them with any detriment.

Trump has most likely been under either individual or corporate audit for a good chunk of the last 40 years. But finally, Congress will be able to expose all his fraud. Can’t wait for them to find that W-2 from Pladimir Vutin Enterprises.

I’m no fan of Trump, but I have to admire the way he’s been able to get under the skin of liberals, democrats and some in the GOP. He’s the political version of a tick (or STD), even after you’ve yanked it out, the itch persists.

Wasn't the Russia hoax intended to expose Trump? The one where an FBI agent admitted under oath that he lied on the FISA application so that they could illegally spy on Trump Tower during the 2016 election. As for a paper trail with ties to Putin? How about the $3 million that the richest woman in Russia with ties to Putin gave Rosemont Seneca Partners?
