Economic Enhancement

Five years ago, few believed that a giant deficit could actually make an economy larger. There was a lot of skepticism that a giant deficit could do such an amazing thing. A deficit that could make an economy larger? **scoff**

But now, five years later, the Obama has borrowed over a trillion dollars from dictators of all ages, all over the world. ...

Okay, I'll admit it. At first, I was among the skeptics. I actually thought trying to create wealth by drowning our nation in an ocean of debt seemed like a really, really shitty idea. Like the guy in the eXtenZe commercial, I seemed ruled by common sense and reality. It just didn't seem possible that spending a shitload of money would actually save our nations economy.

Clearly, I was wrong.

  1. Is $9 trillion in debt a bad thing? Isn't money like Doritos? Just eat all you want, we'll make more, and all that?
