9. That 23 Trillion In Debt...

By that you mean that 23 trillion in debt is an asset to us... and debt to future taxpayers?

Of course we're already paying for the use of that money by paying interest. And CBO projects net interest alone will be about 820 BILLION by 2030 and we'll piss away 6 trillion in debt over that time. So regardless of the word games here.. that debt and those crushing interest payments will be a liability in that it crowds out using that same money to buy something of value for the American People. .
