[MD] Dynamic Development at all costs?

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

Start cutting back on SS and other welfare programs and the debt will take care
of itself.

[Arlo]
You've just spent how much time telling me the debt, $10 trillion, and the
ratio of debt-GDP, 70%, is not a problem at all. Indeed, you characterized me
as chicken little "fear mongering" for even talking about it. So why would I
worry about "cutting back" anything, let alone programs that help poor families
eat and sick kids and seniors get medicine?
