"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40

Don't worry about it. We can finance it by selling weapons systems to China.

"It is a [disputed] question, whether the circulation of paper, rather than of specie, is a good or an evil... I believe it to be one of those cases where mercantile clamor will bear down reason, until it is corrected by ruin." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813. ME 13:409

The sky is falling.... The sky is falling! Oh wait that was chicken little....
Really come on now Debt is a good thing especially during a war. The balanced budget under the democrats was smoke and mirrors.

This problem is solved easily. Just hold a few bake sales and donate the profits to the government.

The fallout from people flying planes into your skyscrapers can do that.
When an administration allows the biggest economic bubble in history to just grow and grow and grow until it pops, that sort of thing can happen to you.
Going to war in two countries to eliminate the people who flew planes into your skyscrapers can do that.
Having to go from a lassez-faire attitude about security to one of eternal vigilance in just a year or two can do that to you.
Just remember, Hillary and her healthcare plan are standing by to make this look like chump change.

... at least partially... gotta take care of our illegals too. Oh, and our debt to the UN. Yeah, I forgot about that. Also, I see we're giving $20 million to the Palestinian Authority to pay their utility bills, so you've got to add that in there as well.

When govenrment says it has balanced the budget, it means that we have been able to pay the interest on the national debt. We never pay the principle, only the interest.

I'll chip in with the $0.27.
