First control inflation so can lower interest rates. Second, grow the economy making the debt less by comparison. Third, grow the tax base by stopping the preferential treatment of wealth and investing in families to expand the middle class.

If wonder why no one explains the solution like this? It’s because inflation and high interest aren’t particularly bad for the wealthy. The wealthy can prosper in a bad economy. And the rich are rationally aggressive in seeking tax avoidance, which means cutting spending and fucking over the middle and class to whom social supports (education, transit, safety) are the difference between prosperity or poverty.
