That all depends on how many lobbyist trips would be involved and how much they can milk from their campaing funds and how many family members they hire to run their campaigns and on and on. I saw old ambulance chaser edwards has to pay back 2.2 million. And to think the left wanted that crook to be the VP.

During the 'debt' debate not one politician suggested that the federal budget be frozen at current levels. This would be the only way to stop deficits and the debt increasing. Then the only way to decrease the debt is to apply any surplus to reduce the debt.
As long as they continue to use 'base line budgeting', deficits and debt will never go down. [there are no cuts, there will not be any cuts] The debt is expected to go up at least another $9 trillion in the next 10 years.

We could do like Reagan did and flood the money supply until it becomes a managable percentage of the money supply. Inflation
