I would also like to mention that all the talk about the debt is not what it seems. US debt/GDP ratio is a bit less than that of some other major nations, our creditor nations still consider US Treasuries as the most secure investment on the planet, it is well understood that US economy is so fucking strong that paying down just about any debt is easy. The major nations of today were not born yesterday, they known all about what happened during the post WWII decades until the wealthy got tired of the middle class sharing their wealth and decided to hijack the Republican Party around approximately the late sixties/early seventies.

Our debt could be double or triple what it is now and it still wouldn't be a problem. Our potential to pay it down in short order is amazing, and our creditors know that Obama's policies are similar to the policies of Presidents like FDR and Eisenhower and that those policies generate tons of revenue and prosperity instead of just transferring 90% of the wealth to the top 1% and the other 10% of wealth to the top 10%.
