Notably: The House of Representatives on this day in 1955 voted 226-56 (when there were 232 Democrats and 203 Republicans, compared to today’s 220-209 split) to allow a $6 billion increase in the national debt. The debt stood at $274 billion. It would remain under $300 billion until 1963, when John Kennedy’s bigger budgets, his Bay of Pigs, his “advisers” in Vietnam, raised the debt to $306 billion. But it wasn’t until Reagan promised to get the budget under control that he borrowed the country into profligate abandon. The debt rose from just under $1 trillion when Reagan took office to just under $3 trillion when what was left of him left office. Republicans haven;t looked back since. It was $4.4 trillion by the time the first Bush left office. It rose by “just” $1.4 trillion under Clinton, only to more than double under the second Bush, to $12 trillion. Obama added $7 trillion in eight years, and Trump another $9 trillion in four. (See the history here.)

“Why do we like those stories so? Why do we tell them over and over? Why have we made a folk hero of a man who is the antithesis of all our official heroes, a haunted millionaire at of the West, trailing a legend of desperation and power and white sneakers? But then we have always done that. Our favorite people and our favorite stories become so not by any inherent virtue, but because they illustrate something deep in the grain, something unadmitted. Shoeless Joe Jackson, Warren Gamaliel Harding, the Titanic: how the mighty are fallen. Charles Lindbergh, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Marilyn Monroe the beautiful and damned. And Howard Hughes. That we have made a hero of Howard Hughes tells us something interesting about ourselves, something only dimly remembered, tells us that the secret point of money and power in America is neither the things that money can buy nor power for power’s sake (Americans are uneasy with their possessions, guilty about power, all of which is difficult for Europeans to perceive because they are themselves so truly materialistic, so versed in the uses of power), but absolute personal freedom, mobility, privacy. It is the instinct which drove America to the Pacific, all through the nineteenth century, the desire to be able to find a restaurant open in case you want a sandwich, to be a free agent live by one’s own rules.” 

–From Joan Didion’s Slouching Toward Bethlehem (Farrar Straus Giroux 1968, LOA 2019).
