The American people will eventually get hurt by this accumulated deficit. That's the problem. We have too much deficit. We have to find a solution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the economy is growing, there's a lot that can be done to deal with the deficit.
This deficit that we have threatens our very way of life, and everything needs to be on the table.
Yes, it is long past time we get serious about tackling the nation's ever-growing deficits. But the average American family drawn into serious debt cannot just threaten to stiff its creditors. It must cut its spending in the future, but also take responsibility for the debt incurred in the past.
Deficits are like putting dynamite in the hands of children. They can get out of control very quickly.
Understanding that yes, we are committing more resources than we thought we might be in protecting our homeland and prosecuting a war and so it's understandable that we would be going through a period of deficits.
The best way to deal with the deficit is through economic growth.
Well, I think what we need to remember is that budget deficits can impede economic activity.
The biggest problem with the deficit is programs that are unconstitutional and wasteful.
We still have a major problem in debt with America that we have to find efficiencies in government to get us back to a balanced budget.
I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.
