Summary
The fight to raise the debt ceiling is at the center of Washington politics as Biden and his minions demand we spend every more, increasing the colossal 28 TRILLION dollars that is already our national debt. Because virtually nobody, even Michael Knowles, can keep up with this mess, Senator Cruz steps away from the chambers to answer the most pressing questions. What is the debt ceiling? Why does it matter? What happens if the United States defaults on its debt? One thing is certain, Washington is playing with fire. If you want even more behind-the-scenes access to the debates that are shaping our nation, join Michael and the Senator on their upcoming LIVE tour with Young America's Foundation.
