What direction are Dems offering to lead the nation?

I'm holding out hope that the lack of action was for political purposes.  Meaning Trump was already getting shellacked daily with the Russian crap.  Toss him wanting to throw grandma in a wheel chair over the cliff and it would have been a disasterous defeat in 2018.  

So am I holding out hope by giving people that don't deserve the benefit of the doubt the benefit of the  the doubt?  Yeah, pretty much.  This is pretty much our only hope for fiscal sanity.  This is it.  It's a sad statement.

Wut? They have no intention of trying to attain any sort of fiscal sanity. And you know what Trump ain't going there either. You'll see Nibiru in the skies before anything is done about the deficit.

When servicing the debt becomes the white elephant in the fiscal pie they won't have a choice, unless of course they're purposely trying to drive us into the ditch.

It doesn't take much to imagine a $30 trillion debt and a 5% interest rate = $1.5 trillion in debt service.

And not a single politician willing to put this forth to the American public.  2nd terms are when ***** traditionally gets done.  Let's see what happens if Trump wins reelection, and then we can cross our fingers.  

It's admittedly holding out hope, as that is what we are effectively down to now.
