If I ran as an Independent candidate for president and promised that I would eliminate the national debt due to my personal enormous wealth, would you vote for me? In my example I have 400 trillion dollars of personal wealth and promised to write a check to the treasury for 10 trillion dollars to eliminate the national debt. My only contention would be that a democratic president would be elected (or myself as an independent). If you knew that I would personally pay off the national debt and would forbid trade defects, would you vote for me?
I would write the check, even if I weren't elected, but if a republican president were elected, I would tear up the check. How would you vote, knowing that I would pay all debts of the United States? I would also give a trillion dollars to homeless people and make sure that all HS grads had the money to go to college.

Consider that I have the money to pay off the national debt. I don't necessarily want to be president, but want our country to be debt free.

Bonds would be irrelevant. Trade defect would not exist. I would not allow a 5 billion dollar deficit with a communist country. Equal trade means that if you lack 100 dollar defect, then you are cut off.

There has been a national debt before John Kennedy was in office. We will always have a national debt. Keep your money and vote for Fred Thompson in 2008.

rather than voting for somebody who would pay off the national debt, we need to vote for the person who could get the debt problem resolved.
we need to find somebody who has enough common sense to use our money to take care of our people. why does the gvrntmnt waste so much money for things that dont matter and not on the people of this great nation. we need to find somebody who has the strength to do the right thing. if that is you... then yes i would.

No.
National Debt is meaningless when it is held in bonds.....which means that to prevent debt you would have to prevent people from buying bonds.
And exactly how would you forbid trade deficits?

I am wondering why, if you had that kind of money, would you want to fool around in politics? Put it to good use and create some industry so people that lost everything due to NAFTA can get back to work.

No, cause you're talking about something that is humannly impossible. The USA needs to collect on the money that is owed (WHICH IT NEVER WILL)...
