Nobody in DC Seems to Care About Debt - Why Should We?
Take a look at the amount of national debt our elected officials have obligated us to pay. This graph doesn’t even show where we are now — which is $36 TRILLION.
Then, if Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" passes as is, it will transform the current $36 trillion national debt into $46 TRILLION by 2029.
This is why I turned off my give-a-damn. Extremely few people we elect to make a difference (on BOTH sides of the aisle) actually want to make a difference.
We currently pay over $100 billion PER MONTH in interest on the national debt. That's $1.2 trillion per year, which is about 25% of all government revenue.
Yes, we’re paying over a trillion dollars a year just on interest on the debt.
I've been beating my head against the voting booth wall for the past 46 years.
I'M DONE.
When I see that graph turn down I MIGHT start caring again.
Until then, I’m focusing on helping people understand that heaven is real, God is real, Jesus is real, and Hell is real. And so are the multitude of God’s enemies who seek to lure us away from acknowledging that Jesus dying on the cross was the payment for the sins of all mankind.
We can’t trust the politicians in Washington DC. But we CAN trust that our belief in what Jesus did for us is the path to eternal life where every debt we owe has already been paid.
Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
That’s it. Paul wrote, “By this gospel you are saved.”
He didn’t say, “By this gospel and your good works.”
He didn’t say, “By this gospel and your regular church attendance.’
He didn’t say, “By this gospel and your ______(fill in the blank)_____.”
Just believe.
Christ died for your sins according to the Scripture.
He was buried.
He rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures.
By this gospel you are saved.
Washington DC is now beyond corrupt. But as Jesus said in Matthew 10:28,
"Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
Stop beating your head against the voting booth wall. Join us who are no longer worried about the national debt.
Focus on being grateful for the REAL forgiveness of debt — YOUR debt — which was paid on a cross about 2,000 years ago.

Any democratic form of government, including a republic, must of necessity be evil. This is clear from the scriptures. No amount of voting, marching, or political activism can possibly fix this and results only in wasting valuable resources or worse, contributing to the evil.
