Barkley Wants to Focus on the National Debt

The 11 trillion dollar debt is the number one issue for Independence Party Senate Candidate Dean Barkley. He told KLKS News, he doesn't want our children or grandchildren to be saddled with this debt, because the congress couldn't control spending.
Barkley, who served two months as U.S. Senator following the death of Paul Welstone, says his top priority for spending cuts would be the military, which he says spends more than all other nations combined. Barkley, and DFL-er Al Franken have both appeared on KLKS as part of our Meet the Candidates Series. Senator Norm Coleman has been offered equal time, but has yet to respond.
