The national debt was caused by living generations and IMO as massive wealth passes through deaths of the baby boomers, the death tax should stay in place and the hundreds of billions collected should be earmarked for their national debt.

Your childlike faith in the government's ability to spend my money wisely is touching.

First, it's YOUR debt to.
As a conservative, if you make a bill, you pay it. You don't get to run out on a bill.

I do agree with your lack of faith in government and I would say there needs to be a law directing estate taxes (which already exist) toward payment of the national debt, because if we don't do that, the government will have a spending fest. We agree on that point.
