The first step is to balance the budget.  And that must be done by
restoring tax levels on the wealthy to the levels during the
late nineties, when the democratic president actually balanced
the annual budget.  Although the post war levels of taxing the
wealthy would be far better for america in general.

And the Republican who followed him immediately used the surplus to
fund a Tax Cut for Rich People.

Well, at least that was paid for. Unlike the Trump tax cuts, which
were charged to the National Credit Card (National Debt). As their
extension will be unless the Republicans in the Senate are saner than
those in the House.

The only way to fix the debt problem through taxes is to tax the middle
class to death.

Horseshit on all counts.

Buckle up! It's going to get rough!

And keep your feet off the floor. It's going to get deep as well.
