,,, does that plus have anything to do with the upsized fiscal deficit you ordered with your fries?

Yes, the U.S. flag does have 50 stars, but that doesn't necessarily make it too busy . The eye doesn't see 50 stars, rather a pattern of stars on a background, ala polka-dots.

It is interesting how much different Old Glory is than the other flags. Should have some originality points, I would think.

The colors, although not original, should be credited with the quality of indelibility. France has the same colors, however we all know that with the U.S. flag, the colors don't run.
