  1. So how are we going to ever get out of this growing problem. Not enough rich people to tax and their not going to give up their money anyway since their the ones making the laws so what do we do here? Wait for the house to come crashing down? Notice I didn’t say anything about Republicans or Democrats because neither of them are the answer. We just don’t have the will as a people to agree this is a problem or take care of it. When theirs that many zero’s involved who cares anyway. I do, because I think bad things eventually will happen, but I’m in the minority.

  2. Trump Tax Cuts, the gift that keeps on giving. But this is the result of decades of tax cuts by every Republican president since Reagan (except Bush 41). We haven’t had a budget surplus since the last Clinton budget.

    .

    We will get over this problem by controlling defense spending and raising taxes, same as we did in the 90s.
