You think it’s bad now? Just wait until the Repubs take over. Lower taxes and spend lots and lots and lots and lots…. Because if they don’t spend, they’ll lose votes. “Take away their entitlements, not mine!” We’ve been through this before.
It’s good to remember that none of the national debt came from the war in Afghanistan or the invasion of Iraq, neither of the Bush tax cuts for the rich, nor from the also unfunded Medicare Part D, nor the unfunded Bush stimulus.
NO, they are Treasury bonds. With the low interest rates, the US should be borrowing money (selling Treasury bonds) to update our infrastructure. Much better than the privatization plan from Trump and Bannon.
Don’t worry; the incoming administration will heal the division, substantially lower our taxes and become a lessor instead of seller of all our assets creating a continuous revenue stream never seen before, so, with the huge surplus we can repair our infrastructure, train our unemployed with current high tech skills (tripling their salaries), stop all imports and quintuple our exports - all in the first 100 days or sooner -- and restore our greatness to a level that it never had and we can all laugh at the time when lesser politicians increased our debt almost every year … or, so, some would like to believe.

Republicans have already stopped worrying about the debt! Not an issue anymore.

This generation’s grandchildren are going to exact their revenge for what’s been left for them on anyone left alive.

The debt is only an issue while the Democrats are in office.

Obama has added Billions to the national debt, and Hillary would have had added Billions more to the national debt.
.
So did the Democrats and Republicans who sent him the bills to sign into law. So what does that mean for you?

And they said it wasn’t going to be a white Christmas. Thank God for Trump!

Trump’s plans require a much huger and of course greater cornucopia, funneling the cash into his own accounts of course!

Our troll still thinks Hillary won, talking about funneling cash into accounts.
