So the National Debt is worrying you. Have you ever look at the history of the Debt?

http://www.toptips.com/debt_history.htm

The only time that the debt has declined for any reasonable period was from 1920 to 1930 where it went down yearly.

You want to reduce the debt then forget about taxes get another Calvin Coolidge in the White House.

Right, entitlements from politician spending starting way back.
My point is that if we keep the estate tax with all the money that will be coming in as lots of people age. Rather than allow politicians to go on a spending fest, I think they should direct the money at reducing or paying off the debt.

We would also need to pass some laws restricting use of monies from the estate tax so politicians don't take it all for their home towns and vacations.

The history is what it is, but the debt is here and needs to be reduced or eliminated.

We shouldn't pass this like a curse down through to future generations.
