CBO expects federal debt to double over next 30 years

Debt didn’t work out too well for Rome, Germany, Japan, Greece, or Zimbabwe.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Simple solution: raise taxes --a lot!  Second solution: start auditing the wealthy instead of the poor, and be aggressive about it.  Just those two should raise well over $1Trillion a year.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
