    I've read everything on this page and I still cant see a way that you can get out of debt by borrowing more money to make the payments on all the other money you borrowed. Right now the US spends 47 cents of every dollar it takes in to service the debt, what happens when it goes over 50 cents, you accumulate debt faster than you can pay it off . What do we do then? what happens when Obama borrows and spends the 2.4 trillion dollars the congress just handed him. What do we do then? Looks to me like they are just throwing good money after bad.

    not at all surprised it's difficult to understand. first off, that isn't what happened. the debt ceiling was raised so we could go further into debt, if required. it was raised to allow the accumulation of interest not being fully paid to have room to accumulate. it was raised to AVOID a failing to pay which would cause ratings to go down,and interest rates to increase, thereby making it even harder to pay off. it was raised to maintain the best interest rate available. if that is too difficult to understand, just ask, and we can explain more.

    So not paying the interest and borrowing are two different things huh? Technically yes but they are both going to leave you in a massive cesspool of debt. If you think for even one second that Mr Obama and the Democrats, like a teen with daddies credit card, will be able to resist more deficit spending until they run up against the ceiling again your living in fantasy land.

    By causing an economic collapse of the currency, moving from a republic to a dictatorship, declaring war on all your neighbors, scapegoating a portion of your population, and forcibly lowering the standard of living for the War Effort!

    Hey, it worked for the Weimar republic, didn't it?

    It depends on what you do with the money. When a business starts up it starts up in debt for instance so providing the money is used wisely it isn't an issue. Cutting spending isn't always a good idea, it puts people out of work which is the same as cutting the consumer base, which in a consumer based economy is no different from cutting your own throat.

    "On February 14, the Obama Administration released its proposed Fiscal Year 2012 budget for the federal government. As part of this budget, the Administration is seeking $553 billion in funding for the Department of Defense, not including funding for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan or the nuclear weapons related activities of the Department of Energy."
