The Government Debt Train Nudges Closer To Collision

[GGT]

When people say that the reason we are running high deficits and "if we want it to work, it will work"...it becomes clear that they aren't paying attention to the details at all. They like the idea of free health care, without much of an idea of how it would play out. Or even what's in our bill. Or even the nature of our emerging debt crisis.

I mean, do folks need a pie chart or something?

Same could have been said for the Bush years. They liked the idea of raising the deficit, and debt spending. Without addressing health care at all. Free wars, free Medicare part D prescriptions, where was their pie chart?
