The federal government is bankrupt, exhibited at USDebtClock.org.
There is another presidential candidate on 40 ballots, so far, who as governor of New Mexico (1995-2004) balanced the budget as a Republican and left office with a surplus in the state’s coffers. His name is Gary Johnson, now a Libertarian who knows economics of the free market.
I urge you to vote Libertarian, wherever your membership may reside.
