They are printing money because no one will buy our debt. This means we ran past the “real” debt limit a long time ago.
No one in Washington is serious who isn’t talking about which unnecessary or unconstitutional departments of government they are going to eliminate or hand down to the states. No one is talking about anything like that, which means no one is serious about dealing with the deficit. If you are spending twice what you bring in, your government is twice the size it needs to be. But no one in either party is prepared to say that out loud except for maybe someone in the Paul’s household.
Ever notice how the President can take giant tracts of federal land by declaring them “national monuments”? The next President should do this with all National Parks....as a prelude to handing them over to the various States. Our politicized National Park Service has proven themselves unworthy stewards of these territories.
So that’s one “serious” proposal. Which I stole from Instapundit.
Not even close to true.
