Just taking these two steps alone would make a huge difference in reducing the debt.

The entire take on yearly Income Taxes is used to pay "towards" the 'interest' alone on the debt.  
The world banks put the first nail in the coffin of the United States in 1913 with the creation of the erroneously named Federal Reserve. (it ain't Federal and there ain't nuthin in Reserve).

that immigration is a huge problem, all the while they have their money in companies who hire undocumented immigrants, and often hire them for personal and family use (landscapers, nanny's, cooks, etc. And, they also want the government to give away that money to protect the companies, in those countries, that they have money and interest in. Talk about being a drone for the 1%.  Keep up the good work!

The main reason we've had an almost unbelievably high standard of living over the past THREE decades is because we have piled up the largest mountains of debt in the history of the world.  
 
We have been robbing future generations blind for so long that it doesn't even seem to bother most people anymore.  We have become accustomed to living in debt.  We go into massive amounts of debt to get an education, we go into massive amounts of debt to buy a home, we go into massive amounts of debt to buy our cars, and we even pile up debt to buy holiday gifts and to purchase groceries.

...What proof do you have that there wasn't a balanced budget and that every Republican voted against the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993?  Can you prove there wasn't a budget surplus in 1998?  Of course you can't - you just say shit and hope stupid people will swallow it.  IOW, you're a typical Republican.

What are you going to do, link an article in print?

The "graph" shows a budget surplus of "GDP" during the late 90's.
