My point exactly they can strut around and crow all they want, but the debt has already been incurred. The money to pay for it has to come from somewhere, the poor don?t have any money to take, and the middle class already pay a higher percentage of their income into taxes than the rich so basically that leaves the rich to pay for it. Regardless if you think that is right or wrong the debt has to be paid and you have to take the money from the people that have it.
And there is a sort of poetic justice in that the debt was run up by leaders the rich supported (GW Bush), and because of programs they wanted (the bush tax cuts) (deregulation of the banking industry) (hands off wall street) (prescription drug benefit for the pharmaceutical industry) so why not make the people that created the problem clean up their own mess? It seems fair to me.

The debt already exists, so how would you get rid of it? Don't say cut spending, that doesn't address the existing debt but manages future debt. Everyone seems to be the political expert, on a daily basis, so do you have any solutions to it? How do you pay for expensive wars? The money has to come from somewhere.
