You know how Conservatives think climate change is imaginary? That's how I feel about The National Debt™. I've been hearing "The Debt" is gonna kill everyone for decades. It's all bullshit. Governments aren't households or businesses.

But it is funny that people who want to "run gubernment like a business" never think, "hey, let's increase revenue". No wonder every business Donnie ran went belly up.

I must say I'm a little surprised that the article doesn't go into some of the more "modern" perpetrators of political violence in the US like the SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) or the Weatherman. I lived in California in the 70s and due to the SLA's kidnapping of Patty Hearst, it was front page news every day. Starting in the late 60s the Weatherman (or the Weather Underground) who were the violent faction of the SDS (Students for a democratic society) perpetrated many bombings and acts of violence that drew plenty of attention and fear at the time.
