Well, people are selfish. Always have been. Sad but true.
Yesterday I pointed out that most voters seem to think they are electing a Santa Claus instead of a POTUS.
Think about how both parties handle this issue.
Republicans claim that they will never let our taxes go up, and they want them lower.
Democrats claim that they will never allow entitlement cuts(In fact they still say that those entitlements are fully self funded, a huge lie no one ever challenges), and we need even more federal spending . Yes, both are lying. But both are saying that the deficit will never hurt us as long as neither side gets full control.
Liberals on MSNBC as with Krugman are claiming that these deficit levels are not a problem and should go higher.
When GWB was POTUS Republicans defended rapidly growing deficits as necessary, and they will again if Romney is POTUS
We create our own currency so the term bankruptcy is not appropriate either. The USA will never declare bankruptcy. No one knows exactly when these deficits will directly hurt us because the world deflation is keeping us from seeing seriously obvious inflation.
