text: With the debt upwards of USD 20 trillion and counting, the press and the public are focusing on trivia, and missing out on the big picture. That is the fact that the Federal Reserve is buying the bonds, which means increasing the money supply, and this is not going to end well. Mr. Trump did not create this situation; previous administrations did. In some cases, such as George W. Bush, taxes were reduced whilst a war in Iraq was started, but George got re-elected because the public like the tax cuts. Clinton had balanced the budget before George took over. Obama couldn't stop the outflow of cash expended on medicare and medicaid programs, and then set up an onerous health care system which Trump will revise, but the costs of free drugs to the 65 and over cannot be supported and will lead to the government expenditure exceeding the GNP. Trump's big test will be on the economics file, not on Ivanka's line of nice clothes and dumb judges.
