Am I the only one who feels like the US debt doesn’t even matter anymore?

All I know is I don't want to hear republicans complaining about the national debt anymore.

@Jj2k00 The excuse they used to say no to practically everything Obama wanted was because of the deficit and the national debt. Now that they are in charge they cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy while raising military spending, essentially doubling the deficit from what it was at the end of the last administration.
In short, they only care about it when it is politically convenient to do so.

@Jj2k00 Don't know, depends on how long the economy holds up. Obama's numbers started super high because that is what he inherited. But they were brought down over time. Trump is trending in the other direction, the big difference is that his numbers are high and we're supposedly in a good economy. If we hit a recession, the spike might be devastating.
