"This is an unconscionable situation that we've found ourselves in, and yet the conversation still continues to be people competing not to do anything to fix the program."   The budget watchdog leader told senators that inaction on the national debt would have substantial ramifications for American society.   "It's going to cause a generational resentment, and younger people are going to be right to be angry about it," she said.   #socialsecurity #genz #politics #cspan Mon, 04 May 2026 21:48:01 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/c7052930-5101-4b18-8018-9ca67f656f5b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
