普京怒批美國是"寄生蟲"

Fix your Russia economy and youth drug epidemic first before opening your big mouth, Putin.

The media is helping to feed these "fables", and plays in the hands of fiscal hawks and tea partiers.  

The public debt of US is very big BECAUSE the size of US economy is much larger than any other country on this planet. What really matters is the debt/GDP ratio and the economic growth. The debt/GDP ratio of US isn't that much bigger than, say, Germany. The growth forecast is similar. However I don't hear anyone shouting Germany is living beyond its mean. For short and medium terms, the US has no problem financially to pay her debt. The real concern is after 2020 and beyond, when the babyboomers retire and cause a big raise of healthcare spending. The point is, although serious, US has time on her side to change policy.
