To Health, re “I don’t like your posts….” There is no need for a smell test. I am quite open about being a registered Democrat and a liberal. But you asked me what I know about the national debt. Here’s what I know:
1. It currently stands at about 19,000,000,000,000. That sounds like a lot of money.
2. The best way to evaluate the level of the national debt is to express it as a percentage of gross domestic product. I am not sure what that percentage is, but I understand that it is well within historical levels.
3. One source of national debt is federal budget deficits year after year. Do you know the name of the last president who ran a budget surplus, rather than a deficit? (Hint: Bill
).
So, Health, please explain to me what else I need to know about the national debt, and why Hillary is not the best candidate to deal with it.
