Yoshi , 2 months ago @rbreich Way too logical for most #Americans to comprehend. They want simple, direct and easy answers, even if the answers are wrong.

peachfront , 2 months ago @rbreich that's a good summary but i just stick my one-liner "Bill Clinton paid off the debt & left us a surplus, and all that did was give the GOP a motive to steal the next election" IMO the reason the GOPs complain about the debt is because debt isn't money laying around for them to steal...

kflanagan , 2 months ago @rbreich I always ask if they are willing to even consider cuts to the DOD budget, most are not, they aren't serious about debt. I would go back further than you, at least Reagan for the tax cut bandwagon.
