http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/opinion/krugman-nobody-understands-debt.html?ref=paulkrugman  According to Krugman we`ve all been too concerned about the national debt   nobody understands it.  "We owe it to ourselves" I bet that I could do a little digging and find some Krugman quotes of how the "sky is falling!  The nat debt is $7 Trillion and 60% of GDP!"  during the Bush years. Krugman is pretty forgiving when theres a socialist in office.  As to who said your quote, Hawken?  Well it sounds like something that Hussein 0bama would say.

The scary thing is, there are those who think that the best place to find enough dirt to fill it in, is at the bottom.

I have a pretty good gues where 3.7 trillion of that came from. Perhaps Congress should have funded the wars? Instead, they cut revenue. I thought we should have quit a long time ago. As for the other things, I'll take them on separately. It takes diesel to run a backhoe and that cost money, but no one paid for the fuel or the operator.
