What are you talking about? We don't use any of our taxes to pay debt. We just borrow new debt to pay the old debt, just as many individuals do. Get a cash advance on mastercard to pay visa. Then you use visa to pay the mastercard debt. You should really try it, it's a win, win, win situation, everyone makes money! (at least till you run out of credit lines, and most banks will accomodate you there by giving out automatic line increases as the debt grows)
If being debt free is our goal, maybe we really should return to the days of 1900, there was no income tax, and virtually no federal debt.
