>> You can assert this as many times if you like. Put it in all caps if you wish. But it doesn't make it true. The fact of the matter is the US debt stood at just under a trillion when Reagan took office. By the time that Bubba took office it was at $4.5 trillion. So I can get this straight: You are claiming that Medicare and SS, which are between 60 and 100 Trillion in debt depending on how you count it, are not the primary drivers of American debt? >> Currently it is right at $16 trillion. You're conveniently ignoring the vast majority of it.
