Kenneth, learn to think responsibly. The debt is higher than it should be and it will be a serious problem.

If the debt goes up but the economy grows faster then the debt, that is a good result. Its the debt, as a percent of GDP, that is really significant.

gdp is a measure of consumption. normally high gdp is good, but our gdp is artificially high in large part due to debt fueled spending. and debt fueled consumption is a BAD thing, not good. it is unsustainable, as you and the rest of the keynesians are about to find out.
