Only once in it's history has the US paid off it's debt. That was when Andrew Jackson was president and paid it off in 1835. It only lasted for 2 years due to the banks printing money at a ridiculous rate and the land bubble popping. We have set up a system to always be in debt.

They are paid for out of the athletic budget basically. Boosters can "give" money for this.
So actually not really. Also the big business done with shoe companies etc...

Medicare and Medicaid go to the health care system?
We took care of the health care system problem the last four years?
