I say bring it so high that even Democrats can no longer demand access to bribe money for their voters... That's the perfect amount of debt... Anything less is leaving money on the table for Democrats bribing their voters to vote for them...
This is why we can't have another stimulus bill passed. I can understand if the stimulus bill is helping Taxpayers only but its only giving the bill to us without actually benefitting us.
The only thing "stimulus" does is inflate the stock market while sedating the real, productive economy.
All spending bills originate in the House, they are subject to negotiation. She has that power of course and a president who can't make a deal and who can't comprehend details - even when he is well. Isn't it Trump who said he loves debt?
"I'm the king of debt. I love debt" Trump on May 4, 2016
There's really no working with Pelosi, all she does is trillion dollar deficits. When she lost the power of the purse and the Republicans scaled things back slightly while still being completely irresponsible, people like her were saying that Republicans were killing people by ONLY having a half trillion dollar deficit.
When you consider not only that she is the most fiscally irresponsible Speaker of the House in the history of the country, but that she'd oppose her own agenda if Trump suggested he supported it....there's just no way you are getting anywhere with that crazy woman.
If the Republicans take back the House, we'll see the return of RELATIVE fiscal responsibility, if Pelosi stays in power, we'll continue to have trillion dollar deficits every year.

Actually, Red states get more bailout $ according to a conservative leaning business magazine:

Yes, this is the perfect time to be financially responsible..Time for the Tea Party to start talking about the deficit, of course when Trump loses.
And US total debt, public and private, is now over $82T. Before the pandemic, we were adding $5 of debt for every $1 of GDP. That's already madness. But now it's far worse- we've had multiple trillions of dollars worth of "stimulus" and in return got basically a stagnant economy. And at this point, no politician even pretends to care about the gargantuan debt load that all of us are ultimately on the hook for. Hardly anyone at all cares about the debt- because "debt doesn't matter" right? No, lets not confuse our lack of caring about the debt for it not mattering. At some point in the relatively near future, all this unsustainable debt will break the entire global financial system.
You care about debt only if you have to pay it back. :: wink ::
Blame shifters can't help themselves. They blamed Obama for the debt then, and now they blame the House. They'll always find someone to blame. Trump is demanding more money to burn, and when he gets it he'll blame someone else for the debt. We need someone who says "the buck stops here".
The only thing "stimulus" does is inflate the stock market while sedating the real, productive economy.
That's why I said there should be NO MORE stimulus bill passed. We don't need more debt.
