The debt and the deficit is just getting out of control, and the administration is still pumping through billions upon trillions of new spending. That does not grow the economy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When the economy is growing, there's a lot that can be done to deal with the deficit.
I think growing an economy is a good way to help with a deficit, but ultimately, it's about fiscal discipline and responsible spending - and smart decisions.
Good debt growth is when you borrow money, and it goes into the real economy. You do capital spending. You build businesses.
As anyone who lived through the 1990s knows, nothing shrinks our deficits faster than a growing economy.
If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.
Slow growth and inflation have a tendency to accompany large deficits and increasing debt as a percentage of GDP.
The only way to eliminate the deficit in the long run is through growth.
This economy is not getting better and the president's policies are the reason.
The massive debt we have racked up to finance our wasteful government is pulling down growth today. Gross debt over 90 percent of GDP weakens growth now. Not tomorrow - now.
Government spending is being restrained, the economy is making progress and moving forward, and the pro-growth, tax cutting policies put in place have allowed businesses to grow, which has brought in additional tax revenue to help pay off the debt.
