Will I obliterate national debt? Sure, why not?

A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing.

Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.

I've criticized Republicans for their lack of fiscal discipline when they controlled Congress before 2007. However, that is no excuse to just continue with more of the same or, as the case is now, to make it worse. Under House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's budget, we will double the national debt in five years and triple it in 10.

I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office.

I would vote against raising the national debt ceiling. Again, this is about mortgaging the future of unborn generations of Americans. It's a form of taxation without representation. I don't think we can do that.
