Too bad that while both parties play chicken over who to tap and how to finance the interest on deficit spending and debts that can never be paid down in the aggregate, neither party seems to pay a single mind to the fact that each and every loan made by commercial lending institutions comes from out of a vacuum steals from all currency holders, present and future, for the sake of redistributing wealth to the stolen-goods-(ahem...credit)-worthy. The parties robbed in the process are never named as parties of interest, so it is a debt that never gets counted, let alone repaid.
