Kasich talked about it at every stop. In fact, Kasich would often give his speeches with a debt clock behind him as he mentioned his success in DC and Ohio on the topic.
Kasich was the only candidate to have a realistic plan to get us to a balanced budget...people didn't care.
Why be an adult and solve the problem when you get votes for promising more services for less taxes?
Do people actually think it's possible to be debt free in a country like this? Nearly impossible especially being apart of that $19 trillion dollar tab. We will always be in debt! In our 240 year history the United States has only been debt free for nearly 2 years. This was way before the Civil War...so yea it was a long time ago.
And did he mention he wants to add $24.5 trillion dollars to our debt in the next 20 years? Trump
So what ???he has proven with his business experience he can handle this. He could just declare bankruptcy for Social Security or maybe the Defense Dept. Look at his business record.
National debt will never go down in my or your lifetime.
We have a fiat-currency for a reason......to live way beyond any normal-means, that a currency backed by tangible-assets, would allow.
A government gets more and more powerful...if it can butter-the-bread of more and more people.
GW Bush said the following in 2001, "we have big enough surpluses to pay down our national debt by $2 trillion dollars in the next 10 years, join me to do it." And at the moment GW Bush said that I believe it was fully possible.
But 2 things happened that stopped Bush's debt lowering plan. First was a round of supply side tax cuts, second was 2 very expensive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2001 we had a government structure that gave us surpluses, and we had the ability to pay down our national debt. Why can't we go back to that 2001 government structure and start to pay down our debt?
