Raise tariffs to pay off the debt. It is what Alexander Hamilton did to put the new nation on the road to fiscal responsibility. High tariffs funded the government completely and allowed manufacturing to develop in the new nation.

I’m in agreement with you. Tariff goods coming into the country and give large tax deductions for corporations who are investing in the country.

Like 1950’s all over again. That may be where we should go.
