Raising workers wages and cutting middle and lower class taxes can help, but I never said it would eliminate all debt. That would be impossible.

How do you plan on raising workers wages while also cutting taxes? Also what do you mean by raising workers wages? Last time I saw these "workers" were employees of private companies not the federal government. If you will do that by raising minimum wage I have to ask you, how many of these "workers" actually make minimum wage? I saw that McDonald's was hiring for $8.20 an hour the other day and I'm sure it would be more for more skilled positions, my Mom had a part time database management job which paid $11.63 an hour. So unless you really want to hike minimum wage, which would be horrible for the Atlasian economy, and unless you want to tax small-businesses, who form the backbone of the Atlasian economy, or wealthier people, who are the entrepreneurs who have the capital to start businesses, their would be no way for the government to support massively inflated minimum wages.
