In an excerpt from a presentation delivered August 18, 2010 to the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce, Senator Corker uses charts and graphs to illustrate Washington's spending trends and mounting debt.
Below are excerts from The Jackson Sun covereage of Corkers presentation in Jackson.
The rate of spending in America is similar to families going on lavish vacations and eating at expensive restaurants only to leave the tabs to their children, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker says.
The national debt is at a record $13.5 trillion and rising, Corker said. The current level of federal spending is akin to households making $48,000 a year but spending $70,000, he said.
