It really goes all the way back to Ronnie Rayguns, Scape.

Yeah the mantra of government is the problem (especially when it is run by people who see their job as a problem) no doubt hatched this gigantic goose egg however I am strictly looking at the numbers and the vast majority of debt has been created by Bush/Clinton/Bush II. Imagine if the US had a debt that is only $11 trillion right now how things would be different. Instead because of them the US will have more in common with Zimbabwe then Germany in the 1930's

Current debt/GDP for the US government is about 67%. It was 100% for Canada in the mid-90s.

Yep and Japan is 195% but the US is not Canada, the world does not trade oil in Canadian dollars.

For every single fiancial/economy based topic, there are legions
of 'analysts' lining up at 180 degrees from each other...and
thousands of 'experts' doing the same...that's why such interpretive
performers like mutual funds are so volatile...some do well and
others are habitual losers...managed or picked by analysts and experts.
The first four letters in 'analyst' are particulary appropriate.
