That's not the point. The point is that there are a limited number of dollars that are available to purchase those assets. Sure, you will get buyers for the Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and the UN. But you would be lucky to collect even $1 trillion.

The key to eliminating the debt begins with balancing the budget. Thirty consecutive years of a balanced budget will eliminate the debt in its entirety. Yet Trump wants to embark on the biggest public works project ever. He proposes government-paid healthcare to those without insurance. He isn't even willing to cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood. So I'm really not seeing how Trump is going to eliminate the debt in eight years by offering the solution of a fifth grader.

It’s not just selling land; it’s extracting value from the land.

Like, say, oil drilling?

Well sure, Trump wants to sell the Hoover Damn and the Grand Canyon. Maybe the moon too.

I see comments very similar to yours coming out of Berkeley, CA. Looking sharp there.

“The key to eliminating the debt begins with balancing the budget.”

Eliminating the DEFICIT has nothing to do with eliminating the DEBT.

You have to understand that fundamental point before taking step two.
