Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?

@8VHGFG5New DemocraticAnswerseconomyGovernment Spending4yrs ago

I believe there could be some public spending cut but there are many other avenues that can be taken as well

It would have to be informed of what public spending we are talking about cutting because Health Care and Education are important to bring our Country forward. We could increase taxes on the wealthy as they are able to afford the tax increase, as well as reducing the number of Government officials.
