say the rich got richer from tax cuts while we fought two wars on borrowed money.

The treasury needs money to create jobs. We also need to pay down the debt. The rich got richer from the bush tax cuts, and we fought two wars in the process. This country has never fought a war and cut taxes at the same time, because it is stupid. Wars cost a lot of money. So, we need to pay for those wars, and you go where the money is, and to those who can afford to pay, and who made the money during the wars, the rich. Then we can pay down the debt, put teachers to work, and policeman, firefighters, construction workers. They then will have the money to spend to create a demand for products, so the private sector starts to hire people. It is the same as what FDR did. He created the CCC, and WPA, and those govt jobs put the private industry to work because people were buying things.
