>> Keeping Americans alive and healthy should be a higher priority than decreasing the deficit. Right. After all, it isn't OUR money. It is our kids. If this concept isn't morally bankrupt I just don't know what is.

Z, Keeping Americans alive and healthy should be a higher priority than decreasing the deficit. But here you are claiming that reducing the deficit takes time. Well yeah, it takes time when you place it lower on your list of priorities. It all depends on what other priorities you have. Hence your silly "good deficit spending" vs. "bad deficit spending" statement. "Good deficit spending" includes ObamaCare, while "bad deficit spending" includes the war on terrorism. Either way, the deficit will continue to balloon until it becomes unsustainable. This has been happening for the past several decades. Even the time when the budget was balanced was due to a dot-com bubble. Tenchusatsu
