What Does The Growing National Debt Mean To Dairymen?

The US National debt continues to grow. Progressive Dairyman highlights the looming issues of this continued growth and how the debt will impact all citizens.

One of the biggest problems about the current fiscal situation is that foreign countries control a large portion of the debt, leaving the U.S. in a precarious position. Eventually the federal debt may get so high that the U.S. would be seen as a bad credit risk.

What is needed to tackle the issue? Higher taxes, cutbacks in programs, and serious leadership.
