One rather militant Freeper cited Paul Krugman to me as justification for increasing debt. As was said in a comment to me, "US National Debt doesn't need to be paid off. Just serviced. Ample abilities to do that."

This was proof positive that some Freepers are NOT conservative. They merely play them on these threads.

Paul Krugman is a jackass, and rapidly growing nation debt is a millstone around our coming generations' necks and/or a threat to the very fiscal health of this nation.

“US National Debt doesn’t need to be paid off. Just serviced. Ample abilities to do that.” Just like a credit card, it doesn’t need to be paid off as the new debt is added to the old debt, and it is serviceable. Until you declare it in the bankruptcy court..//sarc// Krugman uses the same argument as credit card companies. In fact, all you have to do is go out get get new credits to service the first one..LOL. Works the same as National debt, doesn’t it?

That about sums it up from my perspective. The real question for me is: Is Paul Krugman really that stupid or just paid now to support the Democrat agenda, or both?
