What suggestion or suggestions would you have?

Question

That you thought could eliminate the budget deficit,or at least cut it in half?

Answer 1

Fair Tax http://www.fairtax.org/

Answer 2

Apparently there are some in here who don't keep up with the news. The last I read, the taxes are pouring in at an incredible rate... much more than expected. would cut the deficit in half a few years before expected. Am beginning to wonder if these people keep abreast of the times and just like to pretend the economy isn't doing well or just don't know how to read or digest what is taking place. The supply side seems to be doing very nicely and businesses and employment are thriving as a result.

I would suggest we watch what is taking place and see how fast the deficit does go down.. at the rate it is going, we will do just fine..Raising taxes would stymie what is taking place at the present.

Answer 3

Well for starters let's reduce all Senators and judiciaries salaries to 75k a year.. then lets only spend the "allowed" defense budget.. since homeland security has hit the seen, defense spending has gone up consecutively but on secret and unreported weapons and intelligence systems.. then we can pull out Iraq which at 11.2 billion per month is arguably the biggest drain on the economy.. lastly Tax big business that doesn't keep it's money in the united states. I would support a flat tax but in lieu of that how about a tax for any corporation that calls itself an American company but keeps it's money where the currency is strongest.. which is about 90% of American corps..

Answer 4

Reduce any spending increases on high school education.

Deport illegal immigrants replacing them with welfare recipients.
Speaking of welfare, reduce or eliminate corporate welfare.

scottyurb, the idea was to eliminate the deficit, not plunge us into recession.

Answer 5

Simply get rid of the first Bush tax cuts. Done deal, more than half even with wars. You can't cut taxes and increase spending with good results. The guy that invented supply side, trickle down stuff with Reagan -- his name was Stockman -- and Reagan took him to the "woodshed" whn after a few drinks Stockman told a reporter the whole spiel was b.s. so the folks at the top would get tax cuts.
