“America is in a Dangerous Debt Spiral”

Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About

Air Date Thursday, 20, 2026

The United States is facing serious challenges.

Not only are the socialist, Marxist, communist, and Islamic radicals engaged in taking our country down, but our federal government leaders are asleep at the wheel when it comes to our out-of-control debt.

America is in a dangerous debt spiral.

The U. S. debt is about to top $40 trillion. Our borrowing is climbing faster because federal courts struck down billions of Trump’s tariffs.

This is unsustainable. Annual interest payments alone will top $1 trillion; that’s more than our annual military budget.

Our debt is rising $60,000 PER SECOND.

Add to that Social Security and Medicare, due to run out of money in just a few years, and our national leaders must right the ship now, or we will face dire, irreversible consequences in the future.
