No worries. Bush has a plan.

national debt is not the problem.. its spending

with the spending at current levels, you can either 1, pile on debt, or 2, raise taxes..

dems raise taxes, republicans increase debt

who is the national debt owed to?

how can the U.S. Government own debt to itself?

Evidently not.

Or was your account hacked by an Edomite, in an effort to get you suspended, so as to silence you?

for the kind of stuff that you go around posting about, it would seem that a knowledge level greater than this would be necessary.

LOTS of the national debt is held foreign. It's quite common for main banks of countries to hold 30 year reserve notes and whatnot.

The money being held domestically is the rich people and the powerful banks lending money to the government. Greater debt helps rich people greatly b/c of more competition for loans thus great rates and such. It does kind of make sense that republicans want to increase it.
