You forgot that deregulation of bars allowed Heidi to open tabs for jobless drunks. Because getting drunk is the American dream and everyone should be able to get drunk regardless of their financial situation. And we are not paying with our tax dollars (yet). They are essentially printing new money and trying to back it by selling bonds to foreign countries with the intent of paying them back over time. Right now few are buying the bonds. Even China doesn't want them buy they kinda fucked themselves.
