>> The FACTS are the current debt has been run up mostly by Republicans. It's indisputable.

The FACTS are that who was president when the debt went up or down is a totally meaningless statistic. It doesn't take into account such key points in this disaster as how we got Social Security, Medicare, various other social programs, the Welfare State, etc. All these things take considerable time to unwind.

SS is just getting close to collapse and it has been here since the 30s. Medicare/Medicaid, since the 60s. You can't possibly overlook the roles of FDR and LBJ in these disasters.

I understand. You're not a particularly bright individual. I get that. But my 12 year old nephew can understand this concept. It just isn't that complicated.

These programs were installed with the best of intentions I'm sure, but it simply isn't possible to design a program government fed program like these that won't eventually become the blob and consume everything it touches. I defy you to name one, in any democratic country in the world. They are all in various states of collapse, but in the end, there is no other possible outcome.

Which is the reason the Founders expressed concern over it.
