Hide the Pain Harold

ah yes the one sided reply, do not forget what the republicans have done. It is a two way street both are to blame.

Speaking as an independent, there's a small degree of truth in that, but the majority of Republicans to their credit give a crap and Democrats don't, least of all when it involves telling somebody there's no infinite gravy train of money. Propose a balanced budget amendment - and watch the rats dive for cover.

We were discussing debt, not economy, so clearly you're not paying attention.

But if you think pouring a trillion or two of money borrowed from your grandkids and great grandkids - putting them into eternal debt slavery to Goldman Sachs - constitutes intelligence, it is very definitely Democrats who are drinking the koolaid :-/

The call Democrats tax and spend, while republicans are tax cut and spend and you dare talk about the deficit? Typical sheep. Please master may you have another tax break? I don’t mind not having education, healthcare, roads, or anything!

And I am looking out for my grandchildren, both of them.

I'm the definition of a non-sheep: beholden to neither party and critical of both, so you fall shy of observant again.

Since you did not grasp the distinction I already pointed out between debt and economic metrics (the 3 items in the graph) - let alone my explanation that the metrics can be inflated by trillions in deficit spending - this discussion is clearly going over your head, so sorry, there is little point in pursuing it further.

Typical reply. totally expected. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out

Typical non-reply. Don't worry, mine's apparently not as large as yours.
