Not one to correct @SteveSchmidtSES, but when you say both parties have produced a $20 trillion debt, most people hear that as a spending issue. And, sure, America has a spending problem. But it's also a revenue issue, and only one party is working hard to lower revenues.

I agree with you at a high level. If we were in congress together I would be very flinty with the tax payer dollar and focused on spending. However, once the decision to spend is made you have to pay for it. We tax at about 18% of gdp and spend at 21%
