> This produces three results: it stimulates the economy thus making people think that the GOP can produce a good economy; it raises the debt dramatically; and it makes people think that Republicans are the "tax-cut Santa Clauses."

It's a "good economy" because the numbers are going up. That's all that matters.

The fact that the numbers are going up because of a bubble and a lot of questionable deals is not relevant. That's a problem for someone else to handle later.

The numbers also go up when the dollar deflates.

The people who get burned there are the ones unwilling / unable to track inflation.
