Maybe Hillary can fix it just like Bubba did.

The way Bubba fixed the budget was actually quite ingenious and I doubt his Worst Lady can do the same.
Through a shrewd sleight of hand, when the Roth IRA was created, it included the option to "roll over" your traditional IRA and pay the taxes. Right a the peak of the tech bubble, Billion$ in previously untaxed money was rolled over and taxed at 30% of its market value (which happened to be close to the peak), the governments coffers were flooded with unplanned revenue, the budget appeared to be balanced and the sheeple were happy.
