Clearly no one knows

I'll take a shot at it. Here we go in order to fix our debt we first have to decrease our spending. For me there are two glaring areas that i think we could cut spending. The first one is not relying on foreign oil. It kills us. Let's find a nice compromise as to where its pretty environmentally friendly and lets drill away. It would lower gas prices tremndously and although it wouldn't last forever it would give us the needed time to find another source of energy while saving money.

The other thing that irritates me is whenever there is some natural disaster the United States feels that they are obligated to go drop X million dollars on that country. We have our own problems with money. And if we wish to ever pay off this debt we can't keep spending.

The last thing that seems to look promising but will get us in trouble is printing money. The last thing we need is inflation and that is what will happen.

At the rate we are going my grandchildren will still be trying to pay off this debt.
