That is a hollow word, and if it worked like that, then how come only increasing our dept ceiling keeps our credit rating up?

And FYI only one President left us with a Surplus and Bush Jr fucked that up.
Now again, you are stupid, this isn't rocket science, to pay down the dept in any case, you have to have more money coming in than going out.
GOP matra, "don't tax the rich" and the less we tax them they still hid their money overseas anyway. And when we do suggest a tax hike, like debating a theist, they knock over the chess pieces and ship the job over seas ANYWAY.
And who ends up holding the bag? The rest of us. Otherwise why did we have to bail big business out that caused the great recession?
You'd stupidly have me believe that uber billionaires cant pay taxes? BOO AND FUCKING HOO. CRY ME A FUCKING RIVER.
Huge difference between cant, and don't want to. They can, they just don't want to.
