After Ronnie saw the economy ramp up in the 80's they should have started paying down the debt.

BUT NO! now we pay an 18% premium in federal taxes to carry the national debt.

Clinton started to level off the rate of debt increase.

But we (THE GOP ) returned to REAGANOMICS. (that worked! NOT)

For the stimulus package; Trigger cutting some spending or increasing taxes when the GDP growth can sustain it and transform some tax cuts into variable interest bonds, to lower the carrying cost of the national debt.
