Did You Watch the Democratic Sing Along?

Did You Watch the Democratic Sing Along?

Did you watch the Democratic sing a long Thursday night? I wish I didn’t either. For all the promises of free stuff, for all the things they promise to do, they did not talk about money. The moderators entirely ignored the rapidly expanding national debt Thursday night.

Debt? What debt?

The Daily caller did not miss the irony. Thank you to them for calling the network and the candidates on it. ABC News and Univision journalists Linsey Davis, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, and Jorge Ramos asked the 10 Democrats on stage a combined zero questions about the debt.

Thursday night’s moderators followed the lead of NBC News’ moderators in the first round of debates and CNN’s moderators in the second round of debates in avoiding the debt issue altogether.

Dose of Reality

“By the end of this year, federal debt held by the public is projected to equal 78 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) — its highest level since shortly after World War II. If current laws generally remained unchanged, growing budget deficits would boost federal debt drastically over the next 30 years… Debt would reach 92 percent of GDP by the end of the next decade and 144 percent by 2049. That level of debt would be the highest in the nation’s history by far, and it would be on track to increase even more,” the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warned in a June report.

Conclusion

This tells us four things. First, the Democrats running for president will promise anything to get elected. Second, they have no idea what it will cost to actually pay for their promises. Third, they do not give a rat’s hat how high they have to raise your taxes to pay for their promises. Fourth, the media covering their efforts is either in the tank for the Democrats or too stupid to ask the captain obvious question. What are you learning from the Democrat debates? Did you watch the Democratic sing a long? It was tedious but sometimes we take one for the team.
