"Over the next three decades, extending current policies will hike the debt held by the public from $30 trillion to approximately $200 trillion"

Guess what isn't going to happen ?

Pure scaremongering, about a real issue.

Remember this when conservatives talk about the Republican Party being the party of "fiscal responsibility." I would argue that hasn't been the case since Eisenhower.

>Economists agree that annual budget deficits—when the government spends more than it brings in—are less meaningful than the total debt held by the public as a share of the economy.

They mustn't be that good at math, who knew?
