So, just an amusing aside... Who else was surprised that Obama's illegal immigrant Auntie was given asylum in a closed hearing??
I was -shocked-. I was sure she'd be deported.
Just a bit of gentle sarcasm there.
And to the debt, maybe it looks better when you compare it to other countries, but I think you have missed a major point.
The US Debt has reached a record high, and it's not going to stop there. To compare US Debt, you have to compare it to what the debt used to be in the US, rather than compare it to other countries.
I don't deny that other countries have it worse. Of course they do.
If I've previously only had 300 bucks in debt, and now I have 3000, you would say that my debt is comparitively high to what it was.
If our spending exceeds our income, bankruptcy is inevitable. What other countries do is a seperate issue.
