I am sure that you are confused about what you read..
If I was you would be able to post the CBO reports that contradict me, wouldn't you?
So, you don't actually have anything where the CBO says that.
The CBO doesn't read your posts, so it is kind of hard for them to contradict them.
Surely you realize that we would have to post everything the CBO has written to show that they never said what you claim.
Actually, I've never heard that either. I've never heard the CBO say that.
I think we all agree that there is a level of debt that is too high and starts to become a drag on growth. But that's different than saying we have to start paying down debt.
R&R postulated that 90% of GDP was too high, but that's been discredited.
Also, its important to note that what matter isn't the absolute level of debt but the ratio of debt to GDP and other such metrics. So if nominal GDP is rising 6% and debt is rising 3%, even though the absolute debt is rising, the financial condition is improving.
