SOME Republicans on here seem to happy the deficit will only be 250 billion dollars!
Pardon me, we have a 8 trillion dollar national debt.....and some people are happy the deficit will be 250 billion? Rediculous. We have way too much debt to celebrate.
The deficit needs to be ZERO! And the national debt needs to be paid down.

Let's say you had $100,000 debt on your credit card and you had to make payments of $10,000 a month to cover the interest you owe. Well as long as you have a job so that you can pay that $10,000 a month you have no problems. You only have a problem if you lose your job. So unless America goes bankrupt we can sustain, what may seem to you, like an enourmous deficit.

The national debt and deficit are not the boogeymen we once thought they were. I'm not a fan of them, but I don't believe this country will be ground into misery by them either.
This country has both for almost it's entire history, and we've done well. As long as our economy keeps growing larger, we'll be OK.
Read the blog below for a very well reasoned explanation of why.

A good point.
But I'm a little more concerned about the lies, deceptions, sexual escapades, restriction of civil rights and invasion of private lives that the Republicans have gleefully dumped on the American public.

Nine trillion. You didn't round correctly. Blame the public schools.
