Agree. Time to bite the bullet and get the debt way down and eventually eliminated. Gotta start NOW! Canada is a joke. The best thing Canada ever did for the USA is providing a haven for draft age males fleeing the USA during the Vietnam War. The only worse "friend" the USA has is France. Anytime France starts blowing off about how valuable France is to the USA, they need to be reminded of those photos of Hitler standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Trump is not going to get the debt down. If he succeeds the debt will increase greatly. Trump wants big tax cuts for the rich. So he will cut out as much Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security as possible. But all that will not be enough to cover the tax break for billionaires. s
So the U. S. debt will have to be increased as well.
Positive side:
Cuts to Medicaid
Cuts to Medicare
Cuts to Social Security
Greatly increase the National Debt
In order to cover the Negative side:
Tax Cuts for the billionaires
None of the money saved for cutting social services will go into paying off the debt. It will all go to tax cuts for billionaires. And even then, the U. S. deficit will have to be increased a lot to cover all of the tax cuts.
