That's simply not true and you're shooting from the hip. In fact it is said that the ultra wealthy have trillions stashed illegally overseas {http://www.forbes.com/sites/frederic...re-study-says/} which would go a long way towards paying back the debt. Granted, a lot of it is foreign "investment" but I would venture to guess the U.S. has a good chunk of it. Just imagine if this money was even circulating through our economy [[or trickling down if you like) let alone been taxed. Yeah, we'd be having a very different conversation right now.
Additionally, a grand "offer" was posed to the conservative congressmen last time around with $10 of spending cuts to every $1 of revenue increase. Was that not sufficient enough to get the ball rolling? What will bring the right to the bargaining table?
