9 trillion last EIGHT year and liberals argued FOR the deficit and Keynesian economics where liberals argue that debt is good... 1.5 trillion in TEN years and the sky is falling.... idiots...
Your adding in the effects of the recession, the only bill passed was the Stimulus and like I said there was some rational reason behind the bill. So make your case as to why we need a $1.5T, if $8B was bad for the country why is this a necessity.
That doesn't even include the spending bill that they. have been kicking a few weeks at a time

To answer your question. Debt without ability to repay it is bad. Always was and always will be. It is also habit forming. Obama blew through over 9 trillion, that is his greatest legacy. He out spent all presidents before him combined.
Now it has become a habit for both parties and is laughable when either complains about it. Neither party intends to stop. There is simply to much wealth to be gained by our elected reps to stop.
During WW II their was a good reason to increase taxes on the wealthy to 90% and with a lot of incentives.
Might be that time again as we get ready for this war the POTUS and staff believe will be happening. Maybe we should be paying for those wars that are still going on also. Their are corporations making billions on these wars, it's time for them to pay up.
The problem with this nonsense of course is the GOP will not limit themselves to that 1.5. When the Tax bill was signed by the POTUS, he also signed a 7 b EO for Pentagon funding. No that number of 1.5 is gone already.
Still way, way, way short and sky still has not fallen...
It's strange they claim the economy is doing great and at the same time they say we need a stimulus. We already know from past tax cuts, that their effects were temporary. If the effects were permanent, new cuts would not be needed. Even a huge part of the 2009 stimulus was a tax break.

You loved the 9 TRILLION... don’t blame the recession for what you loved... the economy was okay how many years ago? When did the recession end? How many Trillions after that... the economy was fine, right? Guess that didn’t matter either...

Hmmm...GOP has controlled the purse for the last 7 years
In February Ran Paul made a speech to his fellow Republicans blasting them for their spending plan which will increase the debt by 9 trillion in the next 10 years, to this 1.5 trillion is on top of that.
No it didn’t. Housing starts were the worse in decades. That is usually an indicator of how the economy is doing. And it intensely sucked.
With an aging, shrinking population (net of illegal immigrants), one would expect total housing starts to decline. Statistics need to be looked at in context. I get an email list of investment properties from across the country. There are homes for sale in decent condition that sell for $35,000 in parts of the country.
