Clearly neither of you understand our economic system. The national debt has been an integral part of it since the beginning of the United States. It was never, ever, intended to be paid off. It is what allows our country to build credit and set interest rates. Brush up on your economic history, paying particular attention to Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.
Next, I don't think there is anything funny about the rich getting richer and the poor getting more poor. That is exactly why I am poo-poo'ing this, because it is fear-mongering like this that allows the economic elite to implement financial policy that keeps them on top: tax cuts for the wealthy, government bailouts of large corporations, loosening of environmental and economic constraints, etc.
Tax cuts do not create jobs: DEMAND for goods and services create jobs. Simple economics here.
There's a reason this recession has been the best thing to ever happen to the wealthiest people in the country. The widening gap between rich and poor has never been more. It's been terrible for the middle class, yes absolutely, but for the wealthy? Naaaahhhh.
The thing is, when you are afraid, you're more likely to believe the lies and BS that people want to sell you. Now let me ask, who is burying his head in the sand?
She unnecessarily got herself involved by ridiculing him first.
at you, turning this into a personal thing.
