The levels are already unsustainable at historic interest charges.

Who is ultimately responsible, the electorate or pols? I think the former. We own the place and elected the pols. Our own apathy and greed is why we’re here. There are some very few who don’t fit those categories but they are truly FEW.

Because now, they can still raise taxes?

What do you mean, I’m overdrawn? I still have blank checks in my checkbook!

Like the supply of money was somehow related to the amount of paper floating around.

We have poor choices for elected officials because voters make poor choices.

Change the voters to change the outcome.

In the early REPUBLIC, citizens had to possess certain qualifications to earn the voting privilege.

Some tests for fiscal and social responsibility might be in order, such as: Do you support yourself?
Are you a convicted felon?
An habitual substance abuser?
A loon?

But everyone thinks the French revolution was ours.

Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, right?

NOT borrowing your way to prosperity has already been assigned a dirty name in Europe - they call it "austerity". When leftist win elections campaigning against austerity, they end it by returning to the practice of borrowing your way to prosperity.

The question they need to be made to answer is -

what does an “unsustainED” deficit look like, societally and economically?
