You have to compare it with what is good. A zero deficit is not always

I didn't say it was always good, but at some point you can't continue to
overspend, and we have reached that point, especially if your spending
is partially due to a war that you should not still be involved in.
In the BEST picture, the US State Department says that 2/3 of the
Iraqi's don't want us there. In nearly sense of the word, we are "losing".
