I notice you conveniently ignored the first part of my post, and thanks for calling me "dumb" even though I argued in a civil tone. The US is running a huge current debt. It's a fact.
I apologize for implying 'dumb' -- however, it's aggravating to hear such naive 'static' views of an economy continue to be parroted.
We have run a large deficit in the US, because of the major recession, which started in 2000 after the 90's bubble and was accentuated by the 9/11 blow and the need to spend money on a military response. However, you should note that, since the tax cuts, the deficit has been declining. QED.
