    Calling Clinton's smoke and mirrors number game a "balanced budget" is laughable. He never had a surplus and he never balanced the budget.

    I say let the liberals have ALL the power/authority to do whatever the hell their little liberal communist hearts desire! Givem them the whole enchilada! They will either crash this country into oblivion faster than you can say "FORWARD!" or they will actually create their socialist/communist utopia that utterly disregards all of human history and human nature... either way we can get back to business once it happens. This waiting around crap is getting tiresome.

    Get back to business you say? So you think they're gonna let you keep your guns, your free speech, your freedom to worship, and your capitalism in their "socialist/communist utopia"?

    I don't even want the debt repaid. The US govt should just file for bankruptcy and walk away from the national debt. Let the bastards who loaned money to the tyrannical govt we have lose their money instead of taxing me more to pay for govt spending I never wanted in the first place.

    I think that's pretty much what Ron means by liquidating it, doesn't he?

    Partly. I assume he mostly means private sector debt, such as mortgages.

    I think the government should be held accountable to it's promises, but I do agree that it must declare bankruptcy. People who loaned the federal government money will obviously have to take some sort of deal and would receive a fraction of what they loaned, but there have to be consequences, just as there are in the private sector.

    It would be great to have the majority of federal government assets repossessed by creditors. That, at least, would put hundreds of billions of dollars of assets (land, buildings, vehicles, precious metals, etc) back into the private sector where they can be put into much better use. It would also reduce the federal government's power and it would certainly increase caution when loaning to the federal government.

    Buck that crap. Letting the liberals have their way will not be quick and it will not be painless. They will not attain their precious socialist utopia, and will instead cause pain and suffering for every one of their subjects that have to live in subjugation. As can be seen around the world, these socialists don't learn their lessons and instead drag their country and their people down the toilet with them, refusing to give up on their nanny state dreams until the very end.

    The United States is already getting bad enough, and this type of thinking is exactly what they want. They want people who actually care about liberty and the rights of the individual to just roll over and let them have their way, like man-children who were spoiled too much when they were young. Once again, buck that and all that comes with it.

    I'd say paying off and defaulting on the debt are two possible ways to "liquidate it". I don't know what Ron wants to do. But if you look at who holds all the government debt I don't know if total default is such a good idea. But I guess at that point there are no good options left.
