Z, > Second, what do "demands for entitlements" have anything to do with "the needs of big business to become more productive domestically?" Isn't that a non sequitur?

When you figure out who pays the taxes that funds all of the entitlements Democrats supposedly "fight hard for," you'll see the connection.

A worker-to-retiree ratio of 2:1 is going to put extraordinary demands on the productive portion of society. The debt is already increasing because of those demands. Not because of "wars of choice." Not because of Wall Street or Goldman Sachs.

By the way, I think it's noteworthy to see how "deficits don't matter" to you anymore now that Obama is elected. Everything you mentioned also applied during the Bush administration. And that was when annual deficits were less than HALF of what they are and will be in the forseeable future.
