The national debt is a double edged sword. It helps the economy by reducing inflation, by keeping investors invested in the country, keeping money out of the economy, thus keeping the dollar strong. However, these investors have to get paid eventually. And by who? By the future America. Taxes go up, while the rich get even richer. So instead of America helping those in need with social programs; instead of helping America's future with educational financial aid; instead of improving America's infrastructure by increasing state funding, America's future has to pay these investors. And the truth is, Brandon, it's going to be you and people like you and me who suffer the most. The working class. The working class are going to pay for the rich, and even more so than they do now. And so I find it ironic that you strongly support this debt.

has it ever been any different through history?


i agree that the original idea of the national debt has been corrupted and wormholed, but the concept is sound, and that is what i strongly support. national debt does NOT = abuse of the poor. taxes abuse the poor, the government abuses the poor. explain to me a situation where a man gets rich WITHOUT taking advantage of the working class. you twisted logic a little bit to get a statement people would appeal too. history has always shown that "the rich get richer, and the poor have kids." that tends to be the way capitalism works. the choice is either suck it up, or get rich. that's the way it's always been. i agree that the corruption of the system should be stopped, the budget should be spent on more important issues, but that is not connected with the issue we are currently discussing.
