As the Pubs attempt to shift focus

from the blackmail of Obamacare, to the deficit, the question remains, 'do deficits really matter?' Ever since GW and the Pubs wrecked the economy, last time they were in power, they've been screaming about 'inflation' as we try to fix their mess. BUT, 5 years after the crash, and extraordinary circumstances demanded extraordinary measures, there is no hint of the inflation they promised. Not in oil, gold, silver or other commodities, EXCEPT corn, and it's byproducts, which are FOOD. After the fiasco, by GW and the Pubs, where  ethanol is subsidized, while it costs more energy to produce than it creates, there HAS been Pub-casued inflation in that most basic commodity, food. BUT, in all other areas, nothing. AND, if inflation does begin, it is pretty easy to control, with Fed influence over interest rates. But this doesn't keep the Pubs from whining about the debt limit, which is only paying the debts they've already run up. Economics isn't really that complicated, but job growth is, and that's where the Pubs have fought every effort at gov help, cuz they know if the economy is humming, it's President Hillary, and that's their worst nightmare, as the country could continue to emerge from the mess they created last time.
