RE: Really? If you sign a mortgage today at 1% do you think that interest rate goes up?

Actually, it was about $3.5 Trillion until the Dems passed another $1.9 trillion COVID giveaway and are planning on another $5-7 trillion in 'infrastructure'.

And don't talk to me about the tax cuts. Here is the data on receipts from taxes and other sources:

FY 2021 $3.86 (estimated)
FY 2020 $3.71 trillion (estimated)
FY 2019 $3.46 trillion (actual)
FY 2018 $3.33 trillion
FY 2017 $3.32 trillion
FY 2016 $3.27 trillion
FY 2015 $3.25 trillion
FY 2014 $3.02 trillion
FY 2013 $2.77 trillion
FY 2012 $2.45 trillion
FY 2011 $2.30 trillion
FY 2010 $2.16 trillion
FY 2009 $2.10 trillion
FY 2008 $2.52 trillion
FY 2007 $2.57 trillion

The problem is a spending problem. If the 'social infrastructure; was taxed in a fair way, then the SS and/or Medicare taxes should be raised to pay for it.
