A Key to Carving into National Debt? Get Everyone into a Job

   How successful you are at placing your people in productive jobs determines the success of your nation, at least to a degree, at least economically.

   If we were all employed, and earning enough that we needed no assistance, and all making enough money to pay taxes, what would it do to the national debt? With a greater number paying taxes, the government's revenue would increase, and with fewer people needing government assistance, government expenditures would decrease.

   So, if we are serious about solving our $16.8 trillion national debt, we should be serious about placing people in jobs.
