When do we worry about national debt?

Is it cruel to say we are saving the people that are sinking the boat.

When a Democrat is President

Free daycare, free preschool, free college, free prescriptions, open borders so more people get all the free stuff

Yep, dat der bees da solution, especially after they destroy the economy even more so than they've already done

Whoop whoop whoop

 

[RenoChazz]

Never. That ship has sailed

 

[Willie99]

Never. That ship has sailed

True, but we owe most of the money to China so maybe we can tell them to go fuck themselves for screwing the world

Not really .

I was just brainstorming back to past elections and remembering this was always an important topic. We are slaves to China

When a Democrat is President

oh yeah, green new deal, 100 trillion bucks and government jobs out the asshole, I'm sure that'll drive debt down

 

[Michelangelo]

It's got no chance of correcting if the country doesn't completely open up NOW. Instead of generating revenues, this bullshit virus response is sucking revenues up at a suffocating pace. Gotta stop.

Even then it just seems just short of impossible at this point.

When there is another currency that can compete with the USD. Until then I don't think we see a president making it a priority.

The boat has been sinking even before the virus for many years.

I think it will be the eventual downfall of the united states. You can't continue to spend more than you are taking in year after year. A little debt might be ok relative to the size of your economy but neither party knows what a little debt is.

Trumps economic plan of cutting taxes and increasing spending when the economy was doing well is about as bad as it gets. If you are going to spend more than you are taking in the time to do it is when there is a major problem. There wasn't one.

They may talk about the debt but no one is really serious about the debt. I don't think Trumps lie on eliminating the debt is going to become a reality. Trump claimed he would eliminate the debt in 8 years......he must have been planning on his normal playbook....on page 12......run up the debt for 7 years and when it gets big.......file bankruptcy and screw as many people as possible.

Good points don’t see either party truly dealing with this. Regardless of who gets elected It’s a serious problem not far away

there wasnt one MIT math grad hangin' around?... there to say 'hey, wait a minute'.........

if Biden wins, the traumatized 'fiscal conservatives' will come back out.....but not right away......give it time.

the debt has risen a stunning 35% in 4 yrs. ..reportedly, unfortuantely some Tea Party members have landed in mental institutions, best wishes

I dont think paying it off really matters anymore, and it's not something I see happening ever. Now it's just a balancing act.

According to usdebtclock you are 100% correct!

Paying it off??? We cant even balance the budget anymore...Ever.

Not even with 0 interest rates.

Thanks W and Trump

(both of them got the baton in pretty decent shape, and they completely fukked it up)
