Let me be more clear, the total debt is 6 times the annual revenue, and growing. The guv spends roughly 20-30% more annually than it takes in - that is unsustainable and has been my position since Junior was in office.

Now on your point that Bush was a Trillion per year and Obama was half that is just ludicrous Spence. Bush had one year (2?) at 1 T (TARP/QE) that was the first year of Obama. Obama had 4 years over a T. Both were too much. But Bush did not have "era deficts of over a trillion, Obama era deficits of 5-600 Billion". That is just ludicrous, and you know it.
