Budget Deficits for Dummies: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love $1.4 trillion

This is a conversation I had today:

"Do you know how big the national debt is?"
"Around 5 or 6 trillion?"
"Twelve trillion; with trillion deficits set out for years"
*jaw hits floor*

Just remember that we owe it to ourselves! Also don't forget that Obama's budget is an investment in our children and our future. Only a right-wing scumbag would be opposed to that!

Ignore cat. He's a troll. He has NEVER provided any facts to support his claims. He lives in this world, where he can just say, Bush did it, Obama is fixing it, and that's fact to him. Never mind the fact that the treasury is STILL borrowing money to pay off the debt. That doesn't exists.
