Respectfully, that's bullcrap. The deficit is lower than anytime since WWII. I wish they would increase deficit spending at this time, it worked for FDR. Particularly since the party of "NO!" can't even pass a Farm Bill or really anything else other than to rename a few Post Offices.

As I asked, and as you've not answered: Who's going to pay for it?

So, the plan is to borrow our way to prosperity?

You.
We're going to buy condoms and weed for everyone and send you the bill.
Or, better yet, we'll pay for it all with tax revenue from all those great jobs "trickle down" economics has created in the service sector. Oh, that's right, we have to subsidize them with food stamps.

You have to invest in your country if you want a nice place for your kids to grow up. If you look closely at all these moronic false deficit mongers like Paul Ryan you will see that their INDIVIDUAL pockets are being filled by the likes of the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers and their friends just care about avoiding taxes on their incomes.....I do not believe they really are concerned about the government going broke 30 years from now. But they use that fear to increase their power now.
All these Simpson and Bowles acolytes...people like Ryan and that Senator that held up a large cardboard credit card in the Senate....are government workers......
part of the so called problem they want to fix
and many of them have dirty money in their pockets from outside resources.
if you think America does not need SS, Medicare, and now Obamacare then you do not have your eyes open.
