So, I take it you are an astronaut!
"Mommy, when I grow up, I want to help pay down the national debt," just doesn't ring true with me.
How does this sound? Dad, if your generation did not piss away all that money, I wouldn't be in a 80% tax bracket.
Besides, I'm not all that concerned about the national debt. What realy matters is its size as a percentage of GDP. And in that light,we're no were near record levels.
This a great statement. What happens when GDP starts to grow at a slower rate than debt, or better yet GDP collapses. Your debt does not shrink as GDP shrinks.
You obviously are not an accountant either.
No, I'm not. What does that have to do with anything, other than trying to belittle me?

Where are you going with this? When did I try to turn this into a debate about the national debt or future tax rates?

So would you tell someone not to go into debt too by a house, cause they might loose their job? When did the GDP actually ever shrink?
And, just to rob you of another snide comment, no, I'm not an economist either.
You're obviously ignoring the entire intent of my posts. You're also starting to get rude. I'm talking about inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, and, yes, astronauts. You don't agree that that's a legitimate reason for a space program. That's fine. Don't get pissy about it, just say so by addressing the content, and the point of my posts.
