I like that one. This is one ball I think the conservatives haven't been carrying well. I wish I could be alive to see the day that this nation had no debt and could actually issue a tax cut on the basis of "We have more than we need, and have no use for this surplus."
Another large problem this country has is personal debt. We owe too much, and it's being sold to us renamed as something that sounds deceptively positive, "credit."
It's the same beast.
