Lawmaker: Raising taxes is not the only means of reducing government debt  The government' s stockpile of helium is worth 25 percent more, at current market prices, than the debt accumulated in acquiring and storing it
Ttherefore, by selling the helium, the government can not only pay off that debt but reduce its overall debt as well
Attempts to sell the government's helium will not depress the market price of helium by more than 25 percent.
