You are scaring me. You are arguing like a liberal - incoherent. Would you like to discuss a real subject such as I mentioned about the debt-to-GDP ratio?

You started with the ad hominems. Don't complain about how I am arguing.

I am fully aware of the debt to GDP ratio. The United States currently owes $8.3 trillion. Our entire economy is $11.75 trillion. That means our public debt is 71% of our entire economy.

This would not be an overwhelming ratio (although it is pretty high historically) if spending were headed in the right direction. Unfortunately, the GOP big government programs are heading us in the wrong direction. Just consider that the SS/medicare liability alone is going to be twice as large within 25 years.

What is wrong with asking our politicians to do a good job on both sides of the books?
