@dietotaku People have agonized over the national debt forever, except when unusual circumstances forced them to ignore it for a while. FDR, after blunting the Great Depression with deficit spending, tried to get balance the budget--and nearly sent the economy into depression again. Reagan ran enormous deficits and nobody in the GOP cared.
If only the establishment press would read a little modern monetary theory (and recent history) and realize the "NaTiOnAl DeBt!!!omg!!!" is only a bogeyman.
