What are you not getting here? Let's say the budget deficit is 0 in year 1. In year 2, the deficit increases by 1 trillion. That's a 100% increase. Now let's say the deficit is exactly 1 trillion for another 99 years.

I get what you point you think you're making. It's just really hilarious.

Do you really think that if the budget deficit in year 100 is $1T for that year and the actual budget is 100T, that this is as bad as if in year 1, the actual budget was 10% with a 1T deficit?

I mean, seriously? Is THAT your argument. Good fricking God.
