There you go again thinking like a liberal. Did less federal spending ever enter your mind? Cut half a trillion dollars per year in useless programs and pork and use it to pay off the debt. Let's look ahead and figure out what to do about the debt instead of looking back at every administration since Hoover in the 1930's that caused the debt and never repaid it. Has congress ever paid back their IOU's to social security? (trillions of $$).

  "Cut half a trillion dollars per year in useless programs and pork and use it to pay off the debt."
  !/2 trillion dollars a year will barely pay the interest on the debt. (providing the rates don't go up.)
  
  I'll be the first to agree, there are a lot of places where the budget could be cut. The first that comes to mind is America's generosity with Disability claims.
  But getting congress to agree on which ones to cut is a real trick.
  
  Our governor cut medicade for the needy. After he got done, if a family made $75.00 a week, they made too much to qualify for medicade.
  But he did not cut the existing salaries for the state legislators, nor did he try and stop any scheduled pay increases.
  
  Thank You Matt Blunt! (what a guy)
