Good news...
Yeah, I'd like to hear the reasoning as to how being $1,000 more in debt for every man, woman and child counts as "good news": I want to try it out on my bank next time I go $100 overdrawn.

Re: Holmes at it again
Well, I wouldn't count myself as a "Holmes follower", but is a debt of $7,839,614,902,737.30 substantial enough for a comment? If not, is the fact that the the last two trillion dollars have been added in the last four years sufficient to draw your attention?

Biggish Deficit
Yes, the debt is a substantial amount and it has drawn my attention. I've commented on the deficit.
You have? Oh good. Which thread was that in?
AbE: Just to clarify, I'm talking about the overall deficit, which appears to have increased every year since 1970, apart from the tail end of the Clinton administration: After which, what appears to be a yearly surplus of 233 billion seems to have turned into average yearly deficit of about 500 billion.

Re: Biggish Deficit
Thanks Monk, I normally steer clear of most of the political threads and missed that one: Kudos for being an almost sane Republican.
