What Happened to America?

We are borrowing to pay the interest on the loans (we are using the credit card to pay the minimum payment on the credit card). The principal is not diminished, but rather increases.

Because of this, if spending were to level off, the amount of debt would still continually increase. But spending DOES NOT level off. It increases. So, we are increasing the amount of debt in addition to the amount we borrow to pay the minimum interest payment.

This is insanity.

At some point, we have to be upset about the situation, not the team we want to root for.

Calling those who disagree with you morons really does nothing to encourage other posters to have a dialogue.

Why would a person want to have a dialogue with a moron?

Where did I call YOU or anyone else here a moron? Unless of course YOU think debt is stimulus... Do you?

Maybe you could add some logical retort to my points about the out of control debt. This is all I really want from a forum like this... I make a point, you counter with your point. If it takes a word like moron to get you to actually debate, so be it.

Yes you could, are you all trying to emulate the very behavior you complain about?

There is no logical retort. Every single democrat has made the same arguments against deficit spending. The only difference is there was a republican in the white house.

Wrong, it takes a word like moron to remind me of the futility of even trying to have a conversation with many of you.

Have a nice weekend.
