Romney featured the Debt Clock at his convention right above center stage. Nobody of consequence is willing to tackle the issue. Obama, shirt sleeves rolled up and microphone in hand berated GWB for running it up like a kid with a stolen credit card.... And then proceeded to make W look like pee wee herman and doubled it after the campaigning was done. If I were Trump I would promise to task Buffet and the heads of the major banks in charge of the national debt and task them creating an investment fund to reduce it over a given period of time. Then change the budgeting process.

The R Congress made the disaster a bit smaller. The R Congress got the sequester, then Ryan got Obama out of his straightjacket with his first budget as Speaker. The Republican leadership doesn't really want a balanced budget any more than the Democrats. Look at what a bungle they made of it when they controlled Congress when Dubya was President. Spent like drunken sailors with an armful of whores.
