The public has plenty of toxic assets to sell. Wall Street hasn't cornered that market. I wonder why Obama hasn't thought of this himself. Perhaps the $994,795 in payoffs from Goldman Sachs is clouding his vision or perhaps the advice he gets from the privately-owned Federal Reserve is self-serving; perhaps the corporate CEOs that rake in billions from public despair have his ear or perhaps the beneficiaries of Pentagon wars have convinced him that killing people in Afghanistan and Iraq will bring greater returns than selling off the toxic assets Americans really don't want.
Paying off the national debt is a no brainer when you have a functioning conscience.
