To compare our monetary system to any other country is ridiculous. The U.S. has not had hyperinflation triggered since the civil war, and we have been monetizing debt since. Our entire system is based on monetary policy, and money manipulation and debt is not the only number in the mathematics you claim are irrefutable. The same game existed before Trump, yet his results are cheating? You people are insufferable.

I strongly agree with some things Trump is doing, and I strongly disagree with some other things Trump is doing.  Should I agree with everything he's doing, in order to avoid being one of the "you people?"

I'm right there with you. I voted for the guy but don't necessarily agree with his approach all the time. My "You people" comment refers to the hasty pointing of fingers in the wrong direction, especially one that is a political epidemic like debt. It's the nature of the system. Don't like, quit voting in these brain dead seat warmers in Congress. "You people" as the first to scream about the negative but ignore any good. If you feel you don't fit in that category, great.

In this case, the standard is simple.
Deficit spending is justifiable to jump start a stalled economy.
It is much less justifiable when the economy is cooking.

Agree.
