Who will dare to ask tonight's debating Republican presidential candidates in Cleveland, "Will you make fixing the national debt a priority in year one of your presidency, if elected?"
The national debt affects job growth; it affects wage levels. It affects economic recovery.
The bipartisan City Club of Cleveland, the nation's longest continuously operating free speech forum, hosted a discussion panel on fixing the debt this morning with Eaton Chairman and CEO Alexander Cutler and Maya MacGuineas, President of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, moderated by Inside Business Managing Editor Jennifer Keirn.
According to promotional materials for this event on the City Club of Cleveland's website (https://www.cityclub.org/events/the-national-debt-and-the-2016-campaign), the national debt has grown from 35% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2007 to 74% today. If the US continues at this pace, it's projected to exceed the entire economy in the 2030's. Mind-numbing!
The budget defines everything else a president does. It's a long term problem that cannot be fixed in one year. But it needs to be put on top of the agenda and dealt with in year one of a new presidency, the panelists maintained.
Ladies and Gentlemen, who would be president, start your engines....
