If you voted for any politician residing in Washington D.C. you are directly responsible.

You’re welcome !

I think the “raspberry” is in Canada, from that first version of the article he wrote.

It was asking who was responsible for Canadian & Quebecois debt.

Why would he be promoting a revocable trust scheme here in the US?

Another reason to stay a looooooooong way away from that scheme.

The national debt is not mine, no more than my grandparents’ debt is mine.

A deficit is NOT a debt. A debt is a balance sheet item.

A deficit is excess of expenditure over income. Even after a deficit you can still have money in the bank, eg you save for something for a couple of years (not a popular idea nowadays, I know, but possible) and at that point you go out and buy that “something”. In that particular year you may have a deficit because you’ve spent more than you earned, but you are not in debt.

Sounds more like an attempt at a philosophical exercise than anything of real interest - being clever isn’t always....clever.
