Repeal the 2017 tax cuts and you'll have oodles of money to pay down the debt. As if you care about the bill that added $8 trillion to the debt that you're now so concerned about.

Study concluded.

Until now, nobody outside of her district ever heard of her.
She's a backbencher & won't be missed if she resigns.
Not sure why she thinks this threat carries any weight.

Tax the rich at what they deserve -- say 50-percent of what they make and what they have -- and pretty damn soon the debt will be gone.
