How Do You Balance The National Debt?

You get out of three wars and until they hit the soil in the United States, let everyone else settle their differences.

Just imagine how wealthy America would be today IF we weren't in these BS wars.

One problem with all that(Not that I wouldn't like to see all our people home)is the unemployment numbers. Unemployment would fly through the roof when all those part time military people come home at one time. Maybe we could make them border agents.

anonymous 11:09, it would still be billions of dollars cheaper to pay the unemployment than it would be to stay at war.

While we're at it....stop the aid packages to the rest of the world....especially the ones that bad mouth us (OK that only leaves Leichtenstein...)!

How quickly you have forgotten that the oldest war, going on ten years now, started on our soil...

The war was brought to us so we really didn't have a choice. The problem is over taxing entitlements and out of control spending.

We are not at war with Afghanistan, we are at war with Al Qaeda. They stay on the move. We need more homeland security, like at our southern border, not try to build puppet nations

Or you could just let the Bush tax cuts for the ultra-rich expire like they're suppsoed to, and tax rates will STILL be below what we paid under Reagan. There's half of the yearly total of the budget deficit right there. And I dare say fewer than 1% of the readers of this blog would be affected. Or are all of you making $250K or more?

Congress should print its own money interest free.

What we have instead is an inflation of our currency PLUS interest on top!

End the Fed
