"*Why don't we quibble over the 5 trillion, and who is responsible, and ignore the 16 trillion? Is that what you wish to do?*" Yes, we shouldn't be quibbling about who is responsible for the 5 trillion, we should be asking what we can do about the 16 trillion in debt that we're approaching. But, of course, unless we take a good look at the drivers of the debt we'll never be able to judge which candidate's platform and which economic policies will help to solve the debt problem. You might try telling that to anti-Obama posters who assert that the primary cause of the debt is Obama's allegedly socialistic agenda instead of recognizing a series of causative factors such as built in federal expenditures from many years past, reductions in revenues as a result of an economy on the verge of crisis, an aging population that taxes our social security and medical system, an inefficient and ever more expensive health care system, increased competition from China and the rest of the world, inefficiencies in government and an increasingly third world type of system where money buys legislative access and distorts the free market.
