I honestly think (and likely even hope) that the bill gets defaulted and bankrupted (or even inflated) away rather than simply paid through tax increases.
This whole idea that raising taxes will pay it is clearly false. The total net wealth of the top 2% of taxpayers totals roughly 4 trillion dollars.
In today's terms that is roughly one year's deficit. Owing nearly 29 trillion, the bill is effectively unpayable. Inflating the debt away is the best solution. The alternative is to trash the wealth of the middle class. And this means each and every one of *you* here at EvC.

“The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.”

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
