Or something even messier, reduce the Federal Debt. Here's an interesting simulator that allows you to pick different options to reduce the debt as a percentage of the GDP. The goal is to get the debt down to 60% by 2018. I did it through austerity measures and enhanced revenues.

Very interesting and thought provoking.

I didn't see any choices for "declare no debt, dare anyone out there to say otherwise", or "kill other countries and take their stuff to pay our debt".

Those tricks never work.

Indeed, I already saw some complaints about how lowering taxes to increase revenue isn't an option.
