    It certainly does not help that Donald Trump is starting a trade war with every one of the 40 or so nations that is actually financing a good chunk of our debt in the way of purchasing and hanging onto trillions of dollars of Treasury Bonds- that, at any minute, could get pissed off, and cash in and demand full payment with interest, and leave us with the lights out with no way to get them turned back on!

    And it certainly does not help knowing we owe more now in national debt- than all the Gold in Fort Knox!

    Those are also a couple of things to think about!

    Obama should have thought about the interest that would have to be paid when he was doubling the debt from $10 - $20 trillion. Something to think about.

    Yet no mention of Obama's contribution to the debt and how it relates to the interest paid on it.

    Something to think about.

    Interest on the debt is a big deal to the left now but no lefty wants to talk about how Obama's $10 addition to the debt affects it.

    Nothing strange about that as it's expected for the left to pucker up to his black ass and cover for him.

    You're daft, deficits/debts at one time were a principle of conservatism, now, they don't give a rat's ass, here and in other prior conservative tenets, Trump, with a good economy is increasing the debt nearly as great as Obama and Obama faced a historical recession

    Need a lesson in economics?

    Another one that doesn't understand economics

    Obama was confronted day one with a historical recession, plus two wars and a unpaid drug prescription plan, Trump, has and is enjoying a good economy, one had to spend money, the other, not, and Obama's discretionary spending was still lower

    That's a massive LIE and it is LAME. Democrats have ruled the Congress for almost four decades until BillyBob Clinton's Presidency. After the Republicans took over, they managed to balance the budget. The first time in all the decades Democrats controlled the House and the Senate.

    If you didn't have the mental capacity of a three year old, you could do some research before you erupt with your predictable lies and verbal diarrhea.

    Obama has the record arsecheese. Did you whine and complain about the deficits when Democrats ran it up to $1.4 trillion? Uninformed, low IQ, lying hypocrites like you should STFU before you bloviate your predictable dumb tirades.

    You think you know economics arsecheese? Hell, you can't even get the historic record right, much less lecture anyone about economics. If you had the slightest clue about economics, you wouldn't be the low IQ, hypocritical, leftist dumb fuck we know you to be.

    But for shit's and giggles, do try to lecture me about economics.

    There you go with that brain dead leftist meme about the recession again. That recession had nothing to do with the trillions Obama and the Democrats threw away with the mistaken belief that Governments can BUY their way out of a recession.

    That's the economic stupidity of third world shit holes snowflake. You? Lecture us about economics? STFU!

    Obama had EIGHT fucking years and did nothing but bury the American taxpayer in massive amounts of debt with nothing to show for it but eight years of economic malaise and average GDP of 1.4%.

    That is what you get when economic know-nothings like Obama take over.

    CLUE; Obama and the brain dead lackeys in the Party of the Jackass didn't have to spend anything to get us out of the recession. It was already on the way up by the time Obama was sworn in.

    By spending massive amounts of money the Government doesn't have only created more malaise and economic uncertainty. I do wish you had an economic clue; but you are a whiny know-nothing with an immense notion of your own ego.

    A clue for leftist know-nothings; Governments cannot SPEND their way out of recessions. Government cannot SPEND that which it does not EXTRACT first OUT of the economy. That is why the multiplier for Government spending is about ONE! Dunce.

    But you were okay with the nearly ten trillion Obama added? I can't recall any leftist snowflakes crying about how terrible Obama's spending and GDP was. STFU you whiny hypocritical know-nothing.

    Make all the excuses you want, $10 trillion was added during Obama's term.
    Whoa, the guy afraid some kid in a hoodie is going to knock on his door is showing his true colors

    Of course Obama did, and I explained why, the shame is that Trump might actually top that with a good economy, which says it all
