    It would help a lot if the Nation’s income can come even close to matching it’s spending.

    Have an unpayable debt? Here’s one suggestion.

    Inflate the currency. It worked out so well in the 1930s in Germany.

    If idiots want a president who is really like that German one, keep the national government spending more than it takes in as taxes.

    We’re on course for repeating history, about 110 or 1120 years later.

    Engineer/comedian Don McMillan used lottery statistics to demonstrate a foolproof method to get a complete voter turnout at every election. It’s brilliant logic!

    Make all the Senators and Congressmen and all their heirs and assigns personally responsible for any deficit spending. I bet they’d solve the problem inside of a week.

    That makes about as much sense as some of the schemes our politicians have come up with…

    Dad wants to fix the blinds

    Me looking at crooked blinds: “There’s not enough tension on that side.”

    Dad: “So you might say it has a… tension deficit disorder?”

    Paying off my debt is like trying to run a marathon – it’s a long road, but the finish line is worth it.

    Not even winning 100 Powerballs would be enough. Or, even 1000. But, maybe the government should take Trump’s advice and just declare bankruptcy. Yeah. That’ll work.

    Debt is like a game of Jenga – if you don’t manage it carefully, everything will come crashing down.

    I borrowed money from a dermatologist once, but he gave me a bad case of the loans.

    First off, you don’t “pay off the deficit”. What you do is reduce the deficit to zero and then begin paying off the debt – there’s a big misunderstanding between debt and deficit.

    The deep state will direct Joe Biden to win the Powerball every time but use the money to line their commie pockets while hiring actors to pretend to win billions.

    Sad but True: Senator Belfrey’s plan is better than anything the ReichPublicans have come up with over the last 60 years.
