This has been a long time Conservative twist.

They talk about the "National Debt" as if it's the overall personal debt the people owe,...specifically to the government in taxes. The higher the taxes, the more they owe so the higher the national debt. So, by their formula, to reduce the national debt all you have to do is to say the people don't owe it after all by reducing their taxes.

The really sad thing is that there are rich people who really BELIEVE this crap. They aren't saying it because they are trying to trick the lower classes. They are simply too stupid and stubborn to accept that this is simply wrong. They got their outrage fired up and trying to explain it to them causes them to dismiss you as someone who doesn't understand how the world works. If you did, you would be rich like them.

And yet they can't seem to understand basic math.
They live in their own bubble and they think they invented economics...and in a way they did...the fantasy economics that tells them they earned it all cause they are so smart and awesome.
But not all of them...some of them know the score, and some are just willfully ignorant...and some are that stupid.

Just look at the recent collapse.

Talking to the rich and their key advisers you will hear that NOBODY predicted the crash.

Krugman did.

Now, you would think someone interested in making money would toss aside all of the bad advisers and want to hear what Krugman has to say.

But NOOOOO!!!!

All it took was for those bad advisers to tell them Krugman was a Liberal and the idiot rich ran back to the people that ran everything into the ground because the word "Liberal" is pure poison to them. To top it off, anyone even SOUNDING like Krugman is to be rejected.

When I re watched the movie Stagecoach...but today I stumbled onto this clip that someone made...and I thank them for it.

First off, it seems from the sounds that they were in a horse-drawn carriage. There were automobiles in 1939. Maybe to you younger people, cars were not in existence then.

I did not mean that except as just a comment on the rhetoric of the rich saying that businessmen knew how to run a country....they said the same things then as they say now...and it is no closer to the truth now as it was then.

The characters are in a horse drawn Stagecoach hence the title of the Classic John Wayne western which takes place in the 1800s. Hope that clears up some of your confusion.
