I thought the Goldman Sachs "Boys" were now running the show and so far I'm not impressed!
To the American people, a rising deficit that has yet to yield dire consequences has given us a false sense of security. It is also clear that running up debt is far easier than paying it off. As things stand America continues to rack up a deficit each year of nearly $2,500 for every man woman and child in the country, such deficits were unheard of in the past unless it was during a major war.
The fact is with the artificially low-interest rates of today many people seem to have little desire to cut spending. We are literally gorging on debt, and most Americans seem to think that it is just fine and dandy to wildly run up debt as if there is no tomorrow. More on this topic, and some ugly numbers, in the article below.
