Most people here are aware of all this, and most all agree with it, but it's still nice to see it “spoken” out loud from time to time.
Paying down the debt is a nice idea, and once upon a time it would have worked, but now debt - governmental debt - is beyond the pale, and cannot possibly be repaid under existing circumstances. Just like the bankers (international), the liberals/socialists/communists, the One Worlders, and the lawyers always wanted it.
No, that will have to be addressed after the war, and I'm sure it will be, but you're spot-on for everything else!

We spend $500 billion on welfare each year.
We have 90 million out of work.
Lop off at least $400 million off welfare, and reap the taxes off the 90 million we put back to work.
Our receipts could go up by 30 to 40%. Coupled with welfare savings... Think about that.
You’d be surprised how quickly we can turn things around if we get serious.
