At CPAC, DeMint Outlines Problems America Faces

In his opening remarks at CPAC, Jim DeMint framed the conference in terms of the problems conservatives face. First, he mentioned debt: we’ve never been at a point like this, with our debt this high, he said. “We’re in a deep hole.” Second, DeMint mentioned the safety net: we’re also at a point where half of Americans are getting something from government, and the rest are paying for it.
