Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints

    We could pay down a significant amount of the national debt just with ticket and PPV sales.

      When will people understand that it’s mathematically impossible to pay off the national debt? Debt = money. The more money you print the more national debt you have. As long as you back your currency with debt instead of hard resources then paying off the national debt is as impossible as finding unicorns and dragons to ride.
