The Interest Expense on US Public Debt rose to $775 billion over the past year, a record high. If it continues to increase at the current pace it will soon be the largest line item in the Federal budget, surpassing Social Security.

April 8, 2019 at a Fox News Townhall meeting, Sen. Bernie Sanders called for the closure of all USA nuclear plants. Where is he going to get the 19.3% of electricity that nuclear provides? From wind and solar? They only provide 8.2% in total now. That would mean tripling them.
