The National Debt... is it a long term problem?

[WarGamer]

Right now, servicing the National debt costs the US a full 9.0% of the entire US budget.

To put that into perspective, the military costs 12% of the US budget.

Social Security makes up 19% of the US budget.




There have to be some great solutions.

Deposit 31 fancy Trillion Dollar Platinum coins in the Treasury?

And then pass a balanced budget law requiring taxes and fees are adjusted to produce the ZERO bottom line annually?

If you start from scratch, reform the tax laws for greater fairness and proportionality it can be done.

31T in debt is 250k for each and every taxpayer.

There's nothing wrong with spending more money, in fact I'm a big fan.

But ya gotta make your numbers add up to ZERO at the end of the year.

Living in the country that has allowed you to be mega rich isn't free... time to pay up.

After all... in ancient Rome, id the gov't ran out of money they'd just "disappear" the wealthy folks and take their $$.
