The debt is increasing. I know politicians like to manipulate the numbers and try to make it look like they're reducing it but until I see this go under 20 trillion, I wont believe them http://www.usdebtclock.org/

odd how the debt was not important when the Kenyan was increasing it.;

It was, just as it was when Bush was increasing it. I can understand liberals ignoring it, that's what they do, I can't understand conservatives making it worse. It's the same in the UK, the labour party made a huge debt, as they allways seem to but the conservatives have just added to it. How long can that go on for?

I dunno...how long?
Is the TOTAL debt the number we should be concerned with?
or
the ratio of debt to earning.
the GNP is over 18 trillion dollars.
How much is YOUR debt compared to your yearly income?

I like looking at the actual debt, because most of the other numbers are too easy to manipulate. When the debt is going up, the government is spending more than it's bringing in. They can try and justify it but I wouldn't have a huge debt and keep spending more than I'm earning, I just don't see how that's a good idea. Perhaps it wont be a problem if the economy grows a lot but it seems like a huge gamble and guess who pays if it goes wrong?

never mind...
