I think deficits matter. They're not the be all end all metric of anything, but running a close to balanced budget and having debt grow slowly is a good indicator of a sound economy. Having an out of control deficit in a time of prosperity suggests that when we really need to ramp up government spending to counter a slowdown we're not going to have the means to do so without other consequences.
