Holy cow! The federal debt is too big, yet the federal government shouldn't run a long-term surplus. What? How does a government reduce its debt other than run surpluses for many consecutive years? I'll tell you how, because our beloved Motown just did it: you go into bankruptcy! Is that what you propose? That the federal government default on its existing debt?
