If we started believing that paying off everyone's student debt and giving them free college or tech school for two years would pay for itself I would be 100% onboard. And that's how you pay as you go. You pay as you go BY knowing that supply side is a crock of **** and actually investing in the American People pays dividends.
    Well I sorta agree but I just think that framing it as "we need to worry about the debt" is counter productive and generally leads to austerity or half measure solutions that somehow only favor the 1% and large corporations like how the bailout was handled.

      No. We need to flip how people think. The GOP always pays for things too. They always say, the tax cut pays for itself. Always.

        Debt will only resolve itself by default one day down the road....

        Can't cut spending.
        And any new revenue will be spent.

        Easy peasy

          No. That's not how things should be done.

                        Any real solution is going to have to involve more revenue and less spending.

                          Don't need to default. Just need good economic management. The Clinton administration seemed to do just fine - its biggest problem is that we hit the two term limit.

                              West Virginia owes it all to Bob Byrd. Mississippi to Trent Lott and Jamie Whitten and I'm not sure about Alabama.
