Not when you don't have any money left to pay for it.
FEDERAL DEFICIT REALITY-U.S. Treasury Shows Actual 2003 Federal Deficit at $3.7 Trillion
That Bush is a commie? or that the federal deficit is his fault? or what.
If we know how to make a nuclear plant, and "we" install it. Then we know it's capabilities and the ability to monitor and destroy it. That's why "we" helped them. It benefits all of us if the Chinese go nuclear and leave oil to the US for energy production.
We've got to many lawyers and enviro-communists sucking at the court's nipple to put up a nuclear plant.
Now as far as the "national" debt or deficit, you're getting caught in the zero-sum game. How much debt do you have? When do you expect to pay it off? If you were immortal and could continually "borrow" into the future would you? as long as you knew that cash flow would continue to grow? That's why the myth about Clinton getting us into the black was as much BS as Bush getting us into the red. If you look at the budget carefully we go "bankrupt" when social security payments are do in about 25-28 years. That's if the population doesn't change it's current demographic configuration. It's a Ponzi scheme.. with a little musical chairs thrown in. The last politician in power before it all comes down is the "loser" who'll be remembered as "Herbert Hoover".
If you want the "debt" or the "deficit" to go down then you should be cheering for every American based corporation that outsources to cheaper labor and for every product we sell that is a "big ticket" item.... like a nuclear power plant.
of course that's only my opinion..... and I could be wrong.
