Does it matter or not matter? And if it does matter what’s the magic number?

We’re going to have the biggest most beautiful debt. You’ve never seen a national debt like this before people. I talk to economists I ask them, "have you ever seen a national debt this big before?" They all tell me, "No, no we haven’t, we’ve never seen a national debt this big." They tell me it’s very impressive. We have a huge huge national debt. The democrats could never do it, they’re too low IQ.

Joke's on them, when we're all unemployed and homeless they can't tax us to pay it back.

> Historical Peak Exceeded: The 118% WWII peak (1946) has now been surpassed

The greatest war in history wasn't as expensive as this, and we surpassed that before the Iran war.

This is what happens when people think you can just print money and borrow infinitely without consequence.

Usually its democrats who think "money is made up, just hand more out", but at a certain point Republicans have to acknowledge that it's stupid to let one side loot the wealth and stick the next generation with debt and do nothing.

If it's going to crash anyway, might as well get your half of the loot.
