The Lame Stream Media doesn't talk about that. That media doesn't tell the left that all the tea in China and all the cash in the 1% is not enough to sustain the ever increasing national debt.

Fox News and other right leaning news sources do tell the above, but any 'source' that reports a right leaning story is deemed as NOT CREDIBLE. Only news authorized by Maddow is deemed credible. And Andy360. Unless Kathy Griffin says no. That's your left wing leadership.

What kind of manipulation will you use to discredit this nonpartisan source ??
It's not a partisan issue. It's dollars and cents. Did the debt go up or down under Clinton? The answer is up.

Which debt?




All money is some ratio of public and private debt. Are people really this dumb?

No, just you. Money is not a ratio. Money is dollars and cents. Every year the Clinton administration spent more money than they took in. Displaying it as a ratio does not change that.

Yes. Although you're not the hippie rainbow on a VW kind of liberal. You seem like the nasty, arrogant kind of liberal.

Bill Clinton isn't our president. We have a debt problem, and Clinton can't fix it.

When the deficit goes down from one year to the next in all but one instance, that is reducing the deficit. But some people still don't take the truth seriously for some reason.
