At what point is it Obama's fault?

It never needs to be paid off, as in the government has zero debt. The last 180 years prove that.

No but it would certainly be a lot more healthy and productive if the debt we were taking out was to finance a rebuilding, etc. rather than just service interest or roll over existing debt.
 
But I'd be willing to bet there are many people who would use that word, or worse to describe their personal situations.
We probably have guys right here who would say their situation is "worse than horrific", while they post on their computer, over their internet connection, comfortable in their chair. But they will never amount to many Americans.

It is likely those guys have done the research and spent time seeing how the little person is doing. You know, looking at SNAP data, discretionary income and real wage gains of the lower half of the population.
 
Uh, uh, uh, uh...Don't bring that up...That's not fair in the liberal's world.
It's also a decades long process. Want to hang that on Obama, too? Or claim that Obama said it would improve?
 
Brother Rich Ricci, I need some clarification on something.
Are you a citizen of Canada, the United States, or both?

Hey Ricci, if you'd rather not say, that's fine.
I saw some conversation around here, on some thread a few days ago that I didn't quite understand concerning this.
But it's your choice to clarify or not.
 
Easy to say, but prove it.

Now, could an immortal person have carried debt since 1835, making payments on it, rolling it over, taking more on as her income rose over the decades. Yes, indeed that person could have.

Of course, a mortal person can do the same. I'd guess Trump has debt right now.
If your immortal character gets to play by the same rules as government, then yes, the scam can be run by an individual. Problem is individuals don't get to play by the same make it up as you go along rules that the government plays by. The numbers,(debt/income),actually matter in the life of the individual. The numbers mean nothing in government fantasy land.

I am a citizen of only the US.
 
I agree.

$478B Infrastructure Bill Blocked by Senate GOP
By Eric Pianin

And we know how the GOP's alternative went down...

Republicans blocked it because of the proposed tax increases to corporations, not the spending.

"Budget Committee Chair Mike Enzi (R-WY) said he and other Republicans are all for more infrastructure spending. They take issue, however, with Sanders essentially dictating tax reform policy to the Finance Committee by setting a long-term funding target. “That’s not the way we do it around here,” Enzi said Tuesday. “That’s why that went down.”"
