Debt as related to income
First this is not a Political statement I'm just talkin about facts.
If you really want to talk about the national debt you have to go back about 10 years when a certain president double the debt and 8 years of his term. Both parties should be blamed 4 the lack of balls to either raise taxes or cut back on expenses. There are many years where the difference could have been five or 10% raising taxes and lowering expenses to have least balance a budget. The current president just like the last one from the other party blames current conditions for all the expenses incurred to protect the US citizen and the economy I truly doubt either party will ever get a handle on a budget the best we can ever hope for his continuing lowest ever interest rates in the world so that the US Treasury and continue borrowing at near zero rates. The really scary thing would be for inflation to get out of control and going back to when Carter was president at 12 - 18% interest rates. In that case you would see, 100% oh tax revenue going towards paying the national debt, then we would have spiraling inflation like Argentina or were there third world countries where a Dollar would be worthless
