Our debt as a percentage of GDP ranks us 36th, so we're not as bad as, say Zimbabwe or Japan. If fact we're not as bad as Belgium, France, Spain, The UK, or even as bad as Canada, Germany or The Netherlands. Still, it's too high, okay?
The solution is simple: folks who are all up tight about our debt should just voluntarily pay 200% of their taxes. That be the patriotic thing to do and would solve the problem right away.
Isn't that right ssd and Rock the Crock?
