Even at low rates of CPI and inflation, the growth is still compounding, so it's logical to assume that, aside from the occasional dip, government spending will be on an upward curve. Not to imply that all government spending is "ok", of course, that's another matter.
Anyway, what's important to consider is ability to pay, that's what is key. Can we, if the economy improves, we end a couple of wars, and our export initiative is successful, for some examples, could we expect revenue growth sufficient to pay down this debt?

you can redirect the topic whichever direction you want, but the OP's post still stands. the current congress is the worst congress in spending, ever, despite a pledge by the wicked witch of the west to make it not so.
And 2 of the 3 previous GOP Presidents were the worst at deficit spending despite fiscal conservatism being one of the partys biggest principles
After the last 2 years of promising fiscal conservatism the Republicans in Congress just voted to add 900 billion to the national debt
Unless Congress has a veto proof majority the federal budget starts and ends with the President and Bush 2 and Reagan did most of the damage to this country's finances
George W Bush made the mistake of compromising with Democrats.Quote from Range Rover:

Nevertheless, the main lesson here is the Democrats are clearly screwed up.
