I beg to diifer on this point, I and at least two others I know do

You're not even representative of the Republican Party, Sharpe.

What makes you think you're representative of "most people?"

And people do not give a damn about the deficit if the economy is growing.


I amd two other do care about the growing deficit to a great extent. I do not represent more then that on this one point. But as you can clearly see at least three people do care.

I agree with rifle man...
Deficits do matter, especially if they are growing. Payments on interest cut into what we can afford for other programs (or don't allow us to lower taxes). They also have the effect of raising long-term interest rates. This makes it harder for average Americans to 'afford' the American dream (house, college education, starting a business, etc.).
