"The United States' debt topped $20 trillion for the first time ever in September. If some Republican senators get their wish, it will grow even more.
Senate Republicans have tentatively agreed to a budget deal that would allow them to pass a $1.5 trillion tax cut. The catch is they aren't proposing spending cuts or tax increases elsewhere to pay for it. That means the nation's debt could increase by $1.5 trillion or more over the next decade. . .
The deal is even more remarkable, given that Republicans railed for years about how much money President Barack Obama (and President George W. Bush before him) added to the debt."
Read the Washington Post, The United States just hit $20 trillion in debt. Republicans have a plan to make it worse.
