The Liberals REALLY don’t care at all. At least we have a segment of the Republican party that cares (Tea Party).
I had a discussion with a liberal about this. He said that the problem is caused by not taxing corporations enough. He also said that the accounting system is flawed because the money you earn is actually government money and the government allows you to keep some of it. If you consider that every cent earned in the US belongs to the government, then the debt isn’t very bad at all.
That is true, there is at least a segment of the GOP that cares. I think the public cares about this issue, which makes it surprising how little both parties pay at least lip service to the reducing the debt.
