I get tired of people comparing government to a family or a business. Government is not a family and it is not a business. If he government wasn’t in at least SOME debt, how could people invest in treasury bonds?
The problem isn’t too much spending, it’s that the RW wants to stifle revenue collection. It would go a long way toward sanity if we just forced the people who owe taxes to PAY THEM; start by not incentivizing people to make their tax situation so complicated that the IRS can’t audit them and taking the word of their accountants. Also, I know making the rich pay what would seem to be a fairer share wouldn’t solve the problem, but it would make wage-earners feel a little less like the whole burden is on them
