National lottery for debt reduction. Problem solved.
350 million Americans. A weekly National lottery drawn every Friday. Tickets sold worldwide. Top prize each week is 50 million. 100 million play each week buying an average of 2 tickets each at 2.00. 400,000,000 in debt reduction minus one lucky bastard with 50 million means 350,000,000 in debt reduction WEEKLY. Problem solved. Can be implemented in a month using existing state lottery computers.

What happened to the politicians that used to suggest this? My guess is the Republicans would kill it because Jesus doesn't approve.

That's actually a very good idea!

It will NEVER be implemented because: (1) It makes too much sense; and (2) The politicians are getting too much political mileage out of our current situation. That's why it was created in the first place.

Your problem here is that the US government "prints" about $3 BILLION per DAY to service the debt.

I'm afraid your idea wouldn't even make a scratch.

Current Debt $16 Trillion

$16 Trillion / $350M = 45,714 weeks to pay off

45,714 week = 3,809 Year.

Thats if there is "No Interest" & No More Spending" starting right........ "NOW"!

Re: National lottery for debt reduction. Problem solved.
the congress will always find way to spend more than the revenue...if nothing else they will just give themselves and their minions more raises at taxpayers paid for vacations... there is no limit to their imagination when it comes to spending others' money.
