If we’re really being honest, neither party has taken the fiscal deficit seriously. While we can argue which party increased it faster, it misses the point that neither party is willing to make tough spending decisions to get the budget under control, at the risk of their own political future. None of us could spend our credit cards the way that the U.S. spends its budget, and if we did our credit worthiness would drop significantly.
The higher the debt ceiling goes and the greater the total debt load, the more the U.S. economy becomes dependent on maintaining the our “exorbitant privilege”.
