Has anyone visited www.whitehouse.gov (http://www.whitehouse.gov)? They list all the issues that they want to fix, but national debt isnt one of them. and they want to privitize social security which will run it into the ground in 15 years.
I don't think the national debt is really an issue for many Republicans, who feel that it's better to run future generations into a $7,000,000,000,000 debt than anger voters with remotely higher taxes. Sept. 11 is no longer an excuse to me. This is the only war in American history during which we've received tax breaks.
Statistic: Every working American would have to contribute about $35,000 in order to immediatly cancel the national debt.
Statistic: At over seven trillion dollars, the national debt would be growing by 3.5 billion a year even at the ridiculusly low .5% interest rate.
