While I agree that we should evenetually get out of debt (or at least close to it), you do realize that this nation has been in debt since it's inception? Hamiltonian economics was founded on the idea of a "sinking fund" in which the government always spends more than it makes. Of course, I still think we should reduce the national debt significantly, only so that 1/3rd of our yearly budget isn't thrown towards interest on what we owe. |
Hamilton never faced the prospect of Social secuirty, Medicare and Medicaid costs ballooning out of control, not to mention dropping consumption, smaller tax base, reduced liquidity in the market, so on and so on in addition to his debt
