It's time to face reality and raise taxes on the rich to pay off the national debt. I know this will not be a popular idea around here, but as a solution, it will at least help.

Complete fallacy. Every time tax rates on the rich have been lowered they pay more in absolute terms. The solution is to cut government spending drastically. Elimination of the unconstitutional Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Labor would be a modest first step.

Cutting off most foreign aid would probably save a bundle, too.
