Duh.
Conservatives have been pointing this out for te last 40 years.
The problem is that every President is guilty. In the 80’s we did not care much for the debt at all. Now suddenly we do?
“Conservatives have been pointing this out for te last 40 years.”
And willingly participating and perpetuating the tragedy, unfortunately.
Everyone should look at the success they’ve seen in the past 30-40 years, and then consider if it is even possible to have a period of austerity, reduced services, higher taxes, and harder word that lasts the same amount of time to pay the bill.
I clearly remember all the gnashing of teeth over LBJ’s welfare programs, deficits, bankrupting the country, “guns and butter” re Vietnam...this debate has been around at least 40 years. I think it really took center stage with LBJ’s “Great Society” programs. What a resounding success hat was — decaying country and social values, no jobs, disappearing middle class, blacks worse off than ever due to government “largesse.”
