Don't you feel kinda strange, calling yourself a "conservative" and
posting things like this?

You really have a warped view of what's really going on.

You really have a warped view of economics. Does not matter what
entity,
it
can not borrow forever, no matter it's lifespan.

But we're not "borrowing forever". A country will have economic ups and
downs. In the "down" years, net tax receipts fall, and deficits surge.
In
the "up" years, net receipts rise, and the deficits shrink. Since a
country
like the US has an infinite lifespan, *AND A CONSTANTLY EXPANDING
ECONOMY*,
it can weather long, long periods of deficits without any adverse affects.



You get to the condition
on countries of Brazil, 15-50% inflation. Germany, after WWII when the
paper was worth more than the money printed on it. Inflation is a tax!


And what is the current inflation rate in the United States?



About 2.5%. What was the unexceptable inflation rate when Nixon put in wage
and price controls? 3.5%. At 2.5% costs will double in 28 years.
