The past two presidents have presided over deficits of over $1 trillion, resulting in the debt-to-GDP ratio well exceeding 100%. Do we really need to be borrowing this much when the economy is as good as it is?

Is it because the national debt is a long-term problem while spending benefits lawmakers in the short run?
