The Republicans loot the treasury by transferring the nations wealth to the very rich through tax cuts and then complain that the deficits are growing. Reminds me of the kid who murders his parents and then pleads with the judge for mercy because he is an orphan.

The government has unlimited taxing authority. The deficits can easily be fixed with a decade of Eisenhower level income tax rates.

$973 billion for 300 million people = $3,000 per person give or take a little. With a GDP per person of about $60,000 that could be removed without undue disturbance. Squeezing here and there, cutting free-loading and spendthrift wastrelism which abounds. No more caravans for example. Sell criminals' body parts at auction for another example. No more bombing weddings in outer Hinterlandstan aka canceling war <games> to drive Yank tanks to Murmansk from Norway, and dropping plans to conquer Crimea.
