Glad I don't live in Minnesota anymore.............lol...yeah it won't be so bad as long as she isn't trying to be on tv all the time...........the part that really turned me off to her was in her campaign she said the national debt was 9trillion dollars, a truelly made up figure, oct. 17th the national debt was 247.7 billion quite a stretch from 9trillion, when she was asked why they advertised that figure she said they added future debt and the money to fill up the reserve for social security that the democrats used to pay the debt back when Clinton was in office

When politicians (of both parties) talk about the debt, they don't like talking about $8 trillion, so they add up all the funds, as shown above, and talk about the "debt held by the public." They call this the "national debt," and they call its yearly increase the "deficit."
But this way of talking makes it sound like the money put into Social Security and into government and military pensions funds, all of which is borrowed by the General Fund (AKA federal funds), is not owed to the public. But it is. That money came from everyone's paychecks (FICA) and is owed to them in retirement. Every president has promised to keep that money safe. So, really, the whole $8 trillion is owed to the public.
In fact, over $2 trillion of what they call "held by the public" is actually held by foreign interests, while 100% of what is owed by Social Security is owed to Americans.
