It won’t work because neither party will use the money to pay down the debt
“It won’t work because neither party will use the money to pay down the debt”
Just earmark the money to pay down the debt
Both parties suck. That’s why trump is crucial. I actually wished he could win as an independent so he could tell both parties to go pack sand but alas he had to pick one to guaranree a shot. Trump picked the barely less evil party.
Obama just gave $500 BILLION to the UN...Congress didn’t get to vote on that...
The Treasury Department is part of the Executive Branch, answerable to the POTUS. Put Treasury in charge if selling the assets and buying back then burning the outstanding Treasury Bills.
Obama has spent seven years showing us just how much can be done by controlling the bureaucrats in all the various departments and agencies — actually USING Executive Power. It takes forever for objections to arise and go through the court process, and then the agencies just ignore the courts for several rounds anyway.
We should encourage Trump to do the same until we are back on track and then cheerfully sign new curbs that prevent future Presidents from going around Congress. It takes a tyrant to undo the excesses of a tyrant.
