Quote:Forgive my ignorance, but can you please explain a possible solutions to actually make a dent in our insurmountable debt - which is growing by the second?

 

Ok, we stop printing money - but would that not leave the level of inflation stationary, instead of growing?

 

I understand we have to minimize the rate of "debt incurred-ness" - but the total US debt being at 61 trillion (and counting) seems to be quite hefty. Obviously it would take years and years to lessen it...

 

Again, I understand money and numbers but I honestly never took a hard look at this problem - even though I know it exists and is a REAL problem.

A good start would be to stop throwing aid around willy nilly. That should be reserved for humanitarian crisis as necessary but not just because like we currently do. Getting involved in literally every military conflict would be another. 

 

It's a complex problem requiring a complex solution but these are huge money sinks we can easily fix.
