This applies to health care and almost everything else.

That national debt you speak of has risen out of the reach of any estimate ever heard, and most was not incurred by those you are blaming.
Prior to Covid, we were told the national debt would actually be eliminated..actual words. Instead it has increased exponentially, and Covid will add to that.
Not sure what you want citizens who have no control to do. Tax cuts were not for average folks, and had we actually gotten the growth promised (we didn't even get half) it would have been a good idea.
I have suggested that the national debt is a moral crisis, an unspoken evil, but always, on this forum am told I know not of what I speak.
Increase in debt is not because if people wanting freebies. It was getting under some control just a few years ago, but....you can't blame everything on people wanting freebies. Folks should pay attention to actual spending numbers, who is actually making money off the government....they are all labeled "fake news" but if you read, it is real
