A huge part of the $36 Trillion in debt was giveaways to other nations when they should have been hard-to-get loan that required repayment.

And, what's with $400 million to Columbia? The alumni/ae should be paying this, not the taxpayers. Ya know, they got an Ivy education, they can damn well fork over the fruits of their superior education. I feel the same way about my AM, Vandy. Let the alumni/ae pay.

Congress has been a drunken sailor for decades.
