If we had a growing middle class, that can afford to save and invest money; a strong economy and a manufacturing sector, I wouldn't worry about the debt.

However, as we lose good paying jobs overseas, as we see a shrinking middle class that cannot afford to have a savings account, let alone invest, a manufacturing sector that is dying.... I worry.

If we have a strong and growing economy the debt is growth and as the country grows and less investment is needed the government can back down a little. We are far from that.


Short of just saying fuck it and forgiving the debt .... I don't know how we can maintain it and survive.... how much of our taxes go to pay a year on it now, I know it's a God awful amount.
