Taxpayer debt

[Thinman]

I’ve figured it out. All we have to do to balance our federal budget is for every taxpayer to send the Treasury a check for $111,000. Simple, I can’t figure out why President Obama didn’t think of it. I’m sending my check today!!!

Of course there are fewer and fewer actual taxpayers these days. And those that are still here would consider $111k a bargain compared to what they're going to be paying under Obama.

Try dividing that by twenty and add interest to the payments.

Heck if I had my share of what was spent on iraq I would send in my 111K.

You mean buy our own debt instead of the Chinese?

 

[uscitizen]

Have we even paid off the S&L bailout yet? I am not sure if those treasury bonds have matured yet or not.

 

[Thinman]

Maybe we need another TARP to bail out the Fed.

Makes sense. Everybody knows you can easily spend your way out of debt.

Just print more money. All you need to do is have the Fed write a check on itself to AIG. Then AIG can take it to the Treasury and get a few trillion in tens and twenties, put a few hundred in the vault, and loan the money to the Fed to pay the national debt.

It's called Keynesian economics.
