No political agenda..........just a simple math question, that I don't understand.
If the government is mostly shut down, and not funded now, and the income is the same (nothing has changed in the income department), then why is the Debt continuing to grow? I'd think it'd be reversing, and rapidly. But it's not, it's growing.
If the answer is "interest on the debt", then even completely shutting down ALL outlays, everything, while keeping revenue the same, would never pay off the debt, would it?
Huh????
