Clearly they have argued otherwise.

I said that a 460 billion dollar deficit is a good thing compared to a 600 billion dollar deficit and it was laughed off as nonsense

Kind of like saying Richard Speck was a good guy compared to Ted Bundy because Bundy killed more women. It's an asinine statement. A $460Bn deficit is not a good thing. To the contrary, in the face of record revenues, it is horrendous.

Being $460,000 in debt is better than being $600,000 in debt, but neither is a "good thing"

No, everyone has argued that claiming that the current deficit is not bad because it isn't as bad as it could ever be is a completely idiotic argument.

Dang. I totally missed it. Can you point the arguments made for higher deficits in this thread?
