“And now I read articles by economists that are THRILLED That republicans finally see that debt size doesn’t matter”

Do these economists remember the interest rates during Carter/ early Regan?

i was a kid but i remember what, 16 to 18 percent?!?!

On 30 trillion??

We pay almost half a trillion a year on debt interest now!

If rates skyrocketed it would be 3 to 5 trillion a year at those 70s numbers!!!

I need a xanax
