How stupid are you? The USA can generate as much revenue as it needs as long as we continue to pay interest on the debt. The problem is not taxing businesses and individuals enough for what we spend. We can raise more revenue easily enough by raising taxes and also lowering spending. We are certainly not broke by any means. Obviously you know very little about balance sheets and income statements. When a company suffers a loss on the income statement are they broke? So what's the balance sheet look like for the United States. What are our assets?
