Well of course it sounds all nice and dandy to say that we'll take a temporary deficit in order to boost the economy and then we'll pay it off later. But that's what got us into this problem in the first place... a long string of presidents who don't want to pony up. As long as the American people keep encouraging this behavior, the deficit isn't going anywhere but up.
