Something to consider. Most of our national debt is owed to the FED, who creates and manipulates our currency and then charges us interest for every dollar they, "create."
Here's how it works. Economy needs cash, they go to the FED to have them, "create," new cash out of thin air, but there is immediate debt placed on that cash because of the interest they charge. To pay that debt, we have to go to the very same people who charges us that interest in order to get enough money to pay back the debt. It never ends. Get cash, be charged interest that exceeds current cash supplies, get more cash and more interest driven debt.
Now if you got rid of the FED and went back to constitutional money, we could just tell the FED to stuff their corrupt, unconstitutional debt and be in the black again.
You have to be careful though, you can't just get rid of the FED, you need to do something like allowing competing currencies or something, and go back to the gold standard, and remove their unconstitutional power to issue currency and put it back in the hands of those who have the proper authority to issue our currency. Hard specie. US mint.
