    in other words, fascism. this is why people laugh at your idiocy. you're totally insane and moronic about your economic theory and make yourself look even dumber calling libertarian economics as crazy.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    this is clueless. Let's make ourselves less competitive globally and still believe we will sustain the same lifestyle while reducing the debt?

    Isn't the point self evident? He is saying the US is solvent to the tune over more than 100 trillion from an asset/liability POV. That's what I took from it at a glance.

    Hey, maybe we can sell the grand canyon, yellowstone and Alaska federal lands back to Putin and get in the red on a liquidity type basis.

    I don't know but under tax slashing Reagan it was like 70 percent at the top. Cap gains need work too. That's the rich guy loophole. Not sure we raise a lot taking NBA stars up the wazoo. The real money is in the stock option scam for CEOs and corp insiders

    how is the US solvent when there's always a need to increase a debt level????

    She thinks that corporations will just eat big tax increases. They won't instead they will be passed on and result in higher prices and fewer jobs.
