How does us being a debtor nation impact us negatively? Did taxes go up, no he lowered them significantly. Did it negatively impact our economy? No it boomed for 20 years. In fact, one could argue that it helped globalization of the economy which benefitted the US exponentially over the last decade. And don't mention the stock market crash, that had to do with investors being stupid (myself included), not economics.
And the environment? Who gives a rat's ass. The environment has shown to be very resilient. If we tried, we couldn't ruin the environment. Exxon Valdez was supposed to be an environmental disaster for centuries, but like 5 years later it was like it never happened. And no, it wasn't because of the 500 Greenpeace freaks giving ducks baths, it was because Mother Nature is a powerful bitch and can clean herself up or destroy anything humans try and build.
