ALL the income tax revenue over an entire 8 year term wouldn't even do that.

The US National Debt is $20 trillion. 70% of that is $14trillion, meaning we need to get it down $6 trillion over 8 years, or $750billion a year. That is about half the annual income tax revenue.

If you include the Social Security Trust Fund and Medicaid Trust Fund, then we won't.

The flaw in your argument is the assumption the pie does not grow. Some of the growth will be collecting the money owed for the protection we have done with our allies, More from fair trade, more from increased manufacturing, etc. The Pie will not stay the same size...
