basically, to be liberal you have to suspend reason. Ask one of them how the US is going to pay $200 Trillion in debt.. They don't know and math is over their heads so they change the subject typically...
$200 trillion is 1/5th of a quadrillion dollars. You make a good point, how do the liberals pay for the debt which stands at 1/5th of a quadrillion dollars?
It's easier for Republicans because then the debt is only $13 trillion instead of $200 trillion. It's only under the Democrats that the debt is $200 trillion.
Look, I'm no math expert, all I know is what I see on TV. When the Republicans are in power they've said that the debt is $13 trillion and that deficits don't matter. The Democrats are in power and the debt is $200 trillion, and you're lucky that the Republicans don't make that $300 trillion. Now that there's the Tea Party the debt will be reduced to $400 trillion.
When someone says the debt is a fifth of a quadrillion dollars, you'd expect that the followers would twig in that something is amiss -- but they never do.
