Interest on the debt is more than defense spending.

This debt could get out of control and even become an existential threat. But I do not hear anyone in our national media sounding the alarm.

Why is that?

Letting the TCJA tax cuts expire would reduce the growth in national debt by trillions of dollars over the next decade.

In other words:

- raise the percentage of taxes collected every year?

Americans voted in MAGA to stop Democrat insanity.

Ha ha ha ha. It is the GOP that keeps ramping up the debt you moron, to fund their massive tax cuts for the rich. Last time things were good were under Clinton who was a DEMOCRAT.

Clinton inherited a booming Reagan economy. Nice try.

Clinton cane into a very weak economy. That's why Bush lost (in large part). That's why Carville came up with ït's the economy stupid".

Nice try though.

If anyone objectively analyzed Clinton’s record (leaving his name out of it), he would appear to have been a great Republican president, one who actually cut government.

But, he could never run for today’s Democrat Party, “Me to” would be all over him.

Ask the two Republican Senators who just filed a bill to eliminate the TSA.

B effing S, Clinton inherited the Bush I recession which was one of the major reasons Clinton won that election. Some of us graduated during that ish.

Clinton passed a capital gains tax cut, and had some level of spending control after his first two years.

Consistently, conservatives have avoided those threads and they quickly dropped off the first page.

Democrats do care about the debt. They want to let tax cuts a loopholes that benefit the rich and corporations expire to raise revenue. Those, combined with targeted cuts that are not aimed to hurt our poorest citizens will help the situation.

But increasing unemployment, tariffs, extending and increasing tax cuts, cutting funds that promote growth and leave our poorest citizens at risk isn’t going to do that.

By the way, neither is mass deportations, as seen by Florida’s recent moves to roll back child labor laws.

Democrats espouse Modern Monetary Theory that says higher spending and debt doesn't matter, as you just print more money.

"MMT" in practice actually started with Ronny Reagan and Dick Cheney. They just didn't call it that.

If this isn't MMT, I don't know what is:

They were operating not on principles of high spending but that tax cuts would grow the economy and reduce the deficit later.

They have never talked about it. It's been bad for 30 years or more now.

Did you miss the media reporting that cutting taxes for billionaires will bring so much wealth to the USA that the debt will just disappear?

I think the government is too large, but mostly I think the military budget is too large. The GOP won't cut a penny from the military budget, which is so massively wasteful it is sickening.

Clinton also built more border wall on the US/Mexico border than Trump has. Trump's lagging behind Clinton.
