The numbers are not bad. They are grotesque. The national debt has exploded past $38 trillion, and nobody in Washington is even pretending to fix it. In just eight months, we’ve added $2 trillion more. That pace makes the 2008 bailout look like a bake sale. Meanwhile, the media obsesses over tariffs or shutdown drama and ignores the real scandal: twenty-five percent of the federal budget is now pure deficit spending. That is not a rounding error. That is a structural collapse. We are no longer running a government. We are running a debt-financed hallucination, and both parties are fully complicit.
Insanity
To put things into perspective we crossed the $37 trillion mark 60 days ago.
This disaster is accelerating at an alarming rate.

The Democrats triggered the latest shutdown demanding hundreds of billions in new spending we cannot afford, while whining about payroll cuts as if trimming bureaucracy is a moral crime. They complain about tariffs, calling them business taxes, even though their record is full of corporate tax hikes and regulatory chokeholds. The hypocrisy is industrial-grade. Even with windfalls from tariffs and other revenue, the debt keeps climbing. That is how deep the rot goes.

The media coverage is sanitized. Words like accelerates, rises, grows. No mention that this level of borrowing is mathematically unsustainable. No mention that interest payments alone are projected to eclipse defense spending by 2026. No mention that we are mortgaging the future of every American under 40 to fund a bloated, unaccountable system that cannot even pass a clean budget.
What is needed is a meat cleaver, not a scalpel. A clean-sheet rewrite of the federal budget with one rule: no borrowing allowed. That means slashing entitlements, eliminating redundant agencies, freezing non-essential hiring, and ending the fantasy that spending more will fix insolvency. The alternative is not gradual decline. It is collapse. The longer we pretend this is normal, the harsher the reckoning will be.
