Can we agree that the national debt is too damned high?

I think most of us can agree on that.

I got one - lobbyists. Time to get the control away from these overpriced lawyers and back to the states and American citizens. Other one is insider trading in Congress. Needs to be illegal once and for all.

Just goes to show that there are many things we need to start working on as a country rather than a party affiliation.
No kidding! And you sound like Romney.

So why don't you liberals tax every business into oblivion then expect them to hire. <smack>

Yes we can, not sure if we could agree on how to fix it, but I bet if everyone was willing to give up something we could get a lot closer. And the debt is down, but we have a long road ahead. We can't keep funding wars and entitlements unless we have revenue to pay for them. We will eventually get out of debt but those that are making more money than any time in the history of the country, need to pay a larger percent of the tab. They were the ones that benefitted the most from the reasons we went into debt during the last admin. Remember, before that we had a surplus.
