The deficit is our #1 long-term National Security problem, IMHO.

The debt, actually. The deficits are always short term.

The trajectory we have been on for 7-8 years continues. Don't worry though, Donald will bring it down soon.

That trajectory was weak for many of those years.


I know you really want to give Obama credit for our recent economic rise. However, even you know that it will expose you as more of a partisan hack than even I could imagine.

The one thing which has been lagging during this economic recovery is wage growth. Hopefully this level of job openings will lead to wages increasing. Employers are going to be competing with each other to fill these job openings.


It is is great to be confronted with so much positive news concerning our economy. Especially after our previous president was telling up how low levels of economic growth and stagnation was the new normal.


No longer do we have a president who tells us that we were living too high on the hog and now we are in a decline as we deserve.

It still adds to the deficit long term.

Too many people don't realize we've been fortunate to have the ability to pay the interest at a extremely low rate. if the rates ever return to "normal" we don't have any way to pay our debt without a massive tax increase.

I like to be precise. The deficit is an annual shortfall. The debt is long-term and will collapse the economy.

I hate being powerless to prevent what I see is coming.

The recent economic news has been very good. Especially after going through the conditions we faced for the previous decade. My only fear is that when everything isn't always good news, politicians may reverse course and put us back into slow growth mode again.

To be fair, the debt is the culmination of all deficits. But yes, if we don't address it effectively it will eventually explode and wreck our economy. Then we will be in a weimark republic situation.

Deficits are not short term, they represent the part of the budget that adds to the debt.
