Senator Bob Corker paid a visit to Smithville Wednesday, addressing a gathering on the first floor of the DeKalb County Courthouse and taking questions from the audience of invited guests. In his remarks, Corker said that although the country is $19 trillion in debt, and that he considers the growing deficit to be the biggest problem the country is facing, he doesn’t expect either party’s presidential nominee to seriously address what could be an impending disaster. "One of the things that won’t be discussed, unfortunately, is the deficit issue and the huge amount of indebtedness in our country,” the senator said.
