"The definition of freedom is the unimpeded pursuit ofhappiness and prosperity...something that veterans fight for and fight to defend" -Concerned Veterans for America Dear Supporter, While you were sleeping, America hit a new low: the U.S. national debt surpassed $16 Trillion. To mark this dangerous milestone, Concerned Veterans for America (CVA) released a new web videothis morning that highlights the threat to U.S. security posed by our nation's debt, and calls on Washington to enact real spending reform that reduces the debt and protects the nation's future. The 90-second web video , titled "16 Trillion", focuses on repeated warnings from national leaders (including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin) about how mounting government debt endangers our national security. The video also urges Congress to focus on entitlement spending reform and pro-growth tax policies to spur the economy and reduce the national debt. Click here to watch "$16 Trillion" and share it with your friends. It's time for leaders in Washington to put aside the political games and get to work reforming government spending and bringing the debt under control.
