For one, you can't explain away a problem with your argument but just saying, "I know." You toss out "I know the dollar is strong now" as if it's an inconsequential objection to your main point, when it effectively contradicts your entire contention that a high debt is tantamount to a debased currency.
If you're unwilling to interrogate your own beliefs, that makes them come off as shallow. We've all heard fiscally conservative talking heads prattle on about the debt. What we want is insight as to the accuracy or coherence of these ideas, not just a rote regurgitation.
What effective control does the working class have over the national debt if both major parties have continued to raise it no matter what candidate is put foward? And anyway, how does it benefit the cash-strapped working poor to vote to raise its own taxes so that the debt held by rich bondholders can be paid off. I'm not even saying you're wrong, I'm just saying, make it make sense. Or don't, it's not your obligation to do so. But don't be surprised by downvotes in that case.
