*this is exactly* how the deficit problem was solved.
Actually, what Reagan said was that the world would not last past the millenium and so we did not need to worry about the deficits. I guess he was just talking about his personal world.

Actually it was the sound economic policies promoted by people like Robert Rubin that solved the deficit problem. Remarkable how the debt went from 1 to 5 trillion under Reagan-Bush, and then magically deficits began going down under Clinton. It was the reduction in government borrowing that brought down interest rates and produced the longest economic expansion in our history.
