LETTER: Voters should be tuned to our debt problem

Currently sitting at more than $34 trillion, up more than $7 trillion in just the past three years. We need to support candidates who will pledge to address fiscal responsibility before any other issue. If they do so, many of the other issues will improve automatically.
