Again, look at what happened when the last person tried it . . .

Borrowed billions and billions.
Made the "company" (i.e. US) responsible for the debt, not him.
Borrowed even more for war; the cronies took a windfall cut.
Corporations and the wealthy, given tax break after tax break, squeezed as much productivity out of existing workers as they could while firing millions more.
Bewsh, his cronies, his SEC, his CIA, his DEA, his DHS and his PentaSewer get away with their crimes scot-free.

The more things change . . .
