The United States are heading for a debt crisis: Former Vice President Mike Pence

Mike Pence-former Vice President of the United States-believes that his country will be on the way to a debt crisis due to the irresponsible fiscal policy of the government in the next 25 to 30 years.

within 3 decades he claimed that the nation's debt could increase to $ 150 trillion.

in one (n Interview In the Squawk Box from CNBC, Pence commented on Wednesday. "Unnecessary" nailed Covid aid editions from the democratic party in 2021.

"I think the next President of the United States has to deal with the American people, and we have to take decisive and visionary steps to put our financial center in order," he concluded.
