This week, Donald Trump set the political world afire with an appearance at a McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. There, he donned the famous McDonald's apron, cooked up some fries and served customers at a drive-thru window.

It’s been a little over a week since the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget sent a letter to Kamala Harris and Donald Trump suggesting the two presidential candidates get serious about “skyrocketing” national debt, which now exceeds $35 trillion.  Washington is spending $1.8 trillion more than it collects annually.  “Our publicly held debt will…
