Look at the above chart and tell me: Do you think there is any correlation between US administration and how well our country does..

Sorry, I missed this piece of one-sided information.

When we run surpluses, that means we have extra money that we could have invested into the people and businesses of this country. In fact, that is exactly what President Obama is currently doing with his record deficit spending.

The important measure is our debt to GDP ratio!


What exactly is so good about surpluses? Why do you believe that deficits are so bad? Why isn't good fiscal policy that encourages growth what you are concerned about?
