That is how they were able to run it up again during world war i and world war ii. It is not just the size of it. Are there breaks in place that can keep us from sliding more and more . And as bill white writes, and i rely on him because he is a politician and he studied the current environment in details. If he is right, the fiscal constitution is dead, and there is no sign of it being revived. This was things like bush ii funding the iraq war with a series of appropriations. So, rather than percentage, i am more concerned, can we stop it . When will we do so . And i dont see a stop in sight. Both parties are parties of spending and borrowing.

We are driving around the square here in springfield. This Public Square is interesting. It is designed with streets coming into it in the center. Kind of rare. Most come in on the corners. It was designed by one of the rounders of springfield who came here in 1830 with his family. He wanted this to be the county seat of the newly designated Greene County in southwest missouri.
