Poll question: How does bush think we will pay off the debt?
He clearly isn't going to. Will we simply bomb and invade anyone that wants us to pay up? Maybe the plan is for future democratic presidents to look bad when they ask people to sacrifice to pay it off. Maybe he really believes that Reganomics will eventually create a better economy and more tax revenue even at lower tax rates. Maybe he just care, his friends will all be dead when it's time to pay up. Or maybe they just think we will always have debt and no one will ever ask us to pay it.

5. By cutting out social programs
...because if we don't each earn our own way, why should the government have to pay for our laziness? (sarcasm)

7. Oh wait, I get it. This is a trick question, right?
"Bush" - "Think". You tried to catch us with that combination, didn't you. You sly dog.

10. national debt is just another income transfer from the working to the rich
They LIKE the deficits. They want them to use as an excuse to say we can't afford to help each other. the GOP want us to be economically isolated to conserve the advantage of the rich of the working.
