On Face the Nation, the Donald adopted the standard "we're broke" mantra of the GOP by suggesting an upcoming catastrophe once the debt hits $20 trillion dollars. It was only a matter of time since he has now become a frontrunner that he would shift from attention getters like the outlandish, false characterizations of immigrants, or his cheap shots against his rivals, to much "safer" GOP terrain, that this once great nation is in the dumps because of, wait, the problems which will hit us in the years ahead because of our debt!
It is stunning how often the GOP downplays any domestic issues which are present today for the future bogeymen that lay around the corner in the future. They do this to justify their not paying taxes and to convince the 99% that their individual stakes in Social Security and Medicare should be cut, so as to prevent this coming storm. Of course, they never mention that the programs' solvency have already been improved by the institution of the ACA, or might be resolved completely by small changes to the withholding rates, that would leave these programs solvent for decades into the future.
So, despite the obvious rack of problems that exist today, the real issue is a future apocalypse, which our government is not prepared to address, anyway. This all stems from their "no taxes" pledge that all these GOP'ers sign on to which ties them in knots and forces them to distract attention from solving any issues today because "we're broke", while constantly predicting the next collapse, which they will again do nothing to resolve.
