Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

If the deficit is not an issue then why do we have to cut anything? Why not have a trillion dollar deficit? Who buys these bonds. What happens like in Argentina or Mexico when the interest on the debt (it's already our third biggest expenditure on par with entitlements) is larger than the revenue from taxes.

Besides all those wasteful programs you're talking about are significantly less than the $87B going to Iraq i.e. Not a huge savings if you ask me.
