So the government shouldn’t sell off any of its holdings?
Your stuff? Mine? If they can't make do on 3 trillion a year, before they even get to our stuff, it will have been taxed out from under us long before.
If three trillion a year ain't enough, NO amount will be.
And if you think about it, since we don't hear anything about spending cuts, just "revenue increases," it's 4.5 trillion.
I reiterate: If 4.5 trillion per year isn't enough, there isn't any amount that will EVER be.
“So the government shouldnt sell off any of its holdings?”
Not unless they demonstrate they will use the money wisely. As it stands this is probably more on par with a cocaine addict hocking the family silverware to get a quick fix.
The last thing the fedgov needs is more revenue. Congress needs to first demonstrate that it can create a budget and live with that before it just willy nilly gets any more money.
I swear, if they had an extra $100, there would be 535 of them scheming to spend $200 each. They need to go cold turkey.
