Every single American owes $64,592. Including children. Therefore Trump.

A family of four owes over a quarter of a million. Obama alone added over 30 grand to every man, woman and child's debt load. We have been printing paper to finance and support much of the world. It's very simple, the USA must get back to producing and the rest of the world must support and protect themselves.

if you could write a check for your share you should never have to pay taxes again.

No

We've been printing paper to support domestic spending mandates and going to war with the rest of the world

I don’t understand why your post is down voted.

I agree with it. Even if I didn’t, it is not like it is an inflammatory post or troll.

Stupid crap like social security payments, the military, and healthcare?

Because that's where most of it goes

Everybody should just write a check and be done with it.

In fact, you shouldn't be able to vote until you pay off your potion of the debt. More people need skin in the game.

Why do that? Just wait and when Dems gain control they'll just sieze it from your 401k account anyway.

Think of the trees we'll save by everyone not writing checks and stuffing envelopes.

We pay in inflation; it's essentially a tax. We'll pay subsidies to offset the consequences of (cheap labor, other-Nation tariffs, etc.) tariffs, but at least the money stays here.

The effects of coming high-tech will be profound; likely change the whole economic dynamic in ways that will make current scenarios a moot issue. I have no idea how it all shakes out. A lot depends on the persuasive power of the good folk/leaders in our Nation. Storms ahead for sure.

Speaking of stupid crap, I paid in SS taxes on millions of dollars in earnings. The ridiculously small check I receive each month IS MY MONEY. Not some arbitrary dole out or welfare! Or what I loaned the government to post troops all over the world. Protecting those who rip us off in trade and protest the president who is trying to save and protect my family.

It wasn't Obama alone. Do you know who has the Constitutional powers to spend money? Hint: it ain't the POTUS.

So, Congress approved all those pallets of cash/gold that went to the Mullahs in the middle of the night?

Screw the *Omnibus* bs; the Congress needs to get back to passing definitive Budgets where expenditures are open to Public view.

It would be wonderful if Trump proposed cuts to the US budget.

He has not.

While I get most of yalls “it’s not as simple as that” attitude, why all the downvotes, he’s right! This is where over 80% of our federal spending goes every year! An when he says Healthcare he’s referring not only to Obamacare crap, but Medicaid and Medicare. It’s stupid level ridiculous!

Yeah, this is a lie.

But it is funny how some of you seem to care so much about both the debt and tax cuts to the wealthy simultaneously.

Meh, more like $28.8K. Not a "lie", especially by standards you use to post.

It doesn't take long for the withholding from my paychecks to add up to what I "owe", but our federal gov't is spending the new money and not paying back the old money.

While that escapade by Obama sucked arse, that's NOT why we're $21T in debt.
