So..... a national debt of 33T and counting isn't a problem?Our economy is not in dire straights. Unemployment is low. Inflation is problem, but we have seen a lot worse. Overall, not booming, but compared with the rest of the world we are doing pretty well.
Helping to defend a democracy next door to Europe against an Illegal invasion by an authoritarian country is not foolish. Especially when that democracy is willing to step up to the plate and fight for their democracy.
Because saying we are better off than the rest of the world isn't reassuring or a ringing endorsement of the economy's health.
Doctor to patient who has 6 months to live.... You are doing great. You are going to live twice as long as my last patient.
Gee... thanks, doc.
