So, with what you’ve said, how do we pay off our debt?

How on earth did I pay off that mortgage in 13 years (on a 30yr mortgage) while making "less than I owed" on a yearly basis?

US National Debt $21. 4 trillion
The US government has over-spent by an amount greater than the nation produces in a year - but the problem is we aren’t taxed enough.
Martin’s a taxer.
Too bad taxing ALL of our productivity at a 100% tax rate still wouldn’t cover his government’s spending.
If only the rich paid their “fair share”.
Hahahahahahh
Whoo!
Hmm, perhaps I spent less than I made and didn't keep racking up more debt, but rather paid extra on my payments whenever I could to knock down the principal faster.
Our problem isn't the debt by itself, it's that we keep living beyond our means and borrowing more just to pay the interest on the debt we already have - and running up even more debt/interest in the process. (Mindless that $21trillion is a false number since it doesn't count the SS/Medicare "trust funds" which are way more debt).

Obviously: spend less than what you make, and use the remainder to pay down debt.The Conservative wrote: Tue Oct 02, 2018 8:51 pmSo, with what you’ve said, how do we pay off our debt?

If you can figure it out, I’ll give you a cookie.
Lol - I've never supported the filibuster process, even the fake ones on TV. You continue to confuse a discussion about process with opinion.clubgop wrote: Tue Oct 02, 2018 8:05 pm
You supported the filibuster, you know you did. Stop lying. Your bluff was called and you got caught your pitiful little "what? me! I know nothing." routine is tired and should be beneath you. You really trying for that useful idiot role.
Or what? Is the partisan police force going to arrest me until I choose a side? This country swings back and forth and back and forth. The only good thing about this messed up system is that the middle forces the parties to take turns being in charge, so we can't go too far in any one direction. Radicals on both sides suck. The middle decides elections, not the far left & right.
