Sorry, this is not a good faith argument, just like the rest of the destructionist narrative about "the debt". "The debt" is our currency. Calls to eliminate "the debt" are calls to destroy our currency, ostensibly for the benefit of foreign interests.

The disingenuity is even more glaring when you look at the destructionists' overall budget plan, which has nothing to do with actual fiscal responsibility but instead includes further tax cuts and increased deficit spending. The boosters of the narrative haven't had anything to do with actual fiscal responsibility for decades, but at least the previous goal was merely justifying corporate welfare to domestic banksters as opposed to the plainly anti-American goals of whatever new foreign ownership the Republican party is under these days.

Okay, so why should these cuts, specifically, be made?

And, why are we looking to increase the deficit? Are we really going to sit here and pretend this administration has desire, at all, to address the deficit? How much can we lie before it becomes so blatant it's poison to the human mind?
