The simplest answer to the debt question stares us right in the face. Stop spending.

But addicts don't listen to reason.

Pass a law that forces a continual reduction in deficit in real terms and then pass a law that forces a real paydown of the debt. No more relative to GDP crap.

First of all, they need to go after some rather high-living politicians, most of whom have more money than taxpayers or ex-taxpayers living on S.S. had or will ever have. These folks, coincidentally are the ones who also spend our nation’s monies in some of the most foolish ways. They are likely the ones who even HAVE the extra money to send in to reduce our national debt.

Only way to stop the debt madness suicide is follow my tag line.

No. Trump gets it. However, the courts have been forcing payment to NGO’s for things that Congress appropriated money for. Yes, Congress holds the purse strings in that you can’t spend more money than appropriated......but the Executive can decide to spend or not to spend the money.

Notice how I didn’t include the Judicial in the decision making based upon the Constitution..........
Yet somehow they are interfering.
