When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota we never referred to the national debt it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.
If I had been elected president in 1948 history would be vastly different. I believe we would have stemmed the growth of Big Government which had begun with the New Deal and culminated with the Great Society.
What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our Commander-in-Chief what we heard today was a political broadside from our Campaigner-in-Chief.
