Here we go again talking about $31 trillion worth of national debt, and what will the Republicans

do about it? I think the bigger question is what can

And I don't see how this is so hard.

I don't know how the federal government has gotten where it is.

I look at one state after another.

Every governor that I see doing an interview says, well, we're running at a surplus.

We've got hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars sitting in our account.
