Actually you are a pseudo Conservative. Try to actually learn the FACTS rather then mindlessly regurgitate your clique's silly talking points. Comparing the Fed spending in the peace of the 1990s with the Fed spending need to fight recession and war since 2001 is a highly childish attempt to compare apples to oranges.
Question for all the panic stricken Debt Chickens, Please explain how Great Britain has managed it's Debt since the 1600S?
BASIC economic fact for the rabid economically ignorant. Total DEBT IS irrelevant. IT is the DEBT TO INCOME ratio that EVERYONE from your mortgage Company to your Credit CARD lender looks at. This attempt to demagogue the National Debt is nonsense.
