The debt because of a booming economy is only 2.5% of the GNP. During Clintons day it ran 2.7%. Clinton created a so called surplus by using fuzzy math and projecting a booming economy for after he left office, he did not forsee the 2000 thru 2002 recession.
Its all a freaking game any ways! All of it! right against left, light against dark, good against evil, socialists against freedom lovers, dems against repubs...its nothing but a polarity game that is used against us. Divide and Conquer!!! Plain and simple! And it works.
We the people have our heads so far up you know where that we can't get together and get rid of these bums! And you know what, you might as well just kick back and watch the GAME being played through to the end cause none of us are going to change the damn thing any ways. The end is already written because time is totally irrelevant and it all occurs at once. There is no beginning and no end, except....to your body, which is just a temporary vessel any way, there a dime a dozen.
Learn to observe and watch the two sides manipulate and try to win, learn from it. Realize that one cannot survive without the other. But when you step back and don't take sides and detach yourself from the Game.....YOU WIN!!
