Look it up!
The debt matters now.
So why now? Why didn't it matter when Republicans spent like Amy Winehouse in Amsterdam on two (unpaid for) wars, Medicare Part D (unpaid for) and tax cuts (unpaid for)?
Um, because debt to GDP is way higher now than it was then, and that's the only figure that really matters? Or is that too complicated for ya, Nancy?
Of course it's higher now. Our GDP dropped. But that ratio has been higher in the past. Why this time so much drama?
