Are for times of war and national emergencies.

Sure would be nice to not be $1 trillion in the red during a good economy heading into a crisis.

    Not cutting spending was criminal.

    The American electorate is criminal.

    Who would have thought that Increasing spending while decreasing tax revenues was a bad idea?

    Declaring an emergency was ok. It's been done before and was done with H1N1. Government officials ending economic activity and making what is left extremely difficult shouldn't have been done.

    “Conservative” wishful thinking about spending cuts is so Charlie Brown trying to kick the football.

    Look at when we started to owe money as a nation - was it a coincidence that the fed was created about the same time?

    Numerous times we went into debt but always paid it off

    That's Brazil's current approach, at least on the federal level. Will be someone to watch for a comparison.
