    Samuelson is right that NONE of the candidates are speaking the truth to the American public about the dire state of America's finances. If you want the truth, you should read the official 'Financial Report of the United States of America'. This is an official government document....that the government doesn't want you to read! This country is in BIG trouble....no matter WHO moves into the Oval Office next January. Whoever it is is going to have a first-class MESS on their hands.
