I’d like to see more on what went right from 93 to 2000 as the deficit shrank every single year, even getting to surplus. And on the fact that the deficit shrank every year under Obama after his first year (and we all know that the first year for every President is under a budget passed before they took office). Lastly, so many people wrote so much nonsense for the last 15 years about “borrow because rates are zero”. WTF? If we’re not issuing perpetuities at zero, then “rates” aren’t zero. As you point out, and many are starting to appreciate.
