Sorry....it was harder to get to.....?

Yes, Bill Clinton did balance the budget, and had a surplus! It took the present administration 90 days to deplete the surplus.....

Answer 1

I do know an area where the IRS oftens let's people who owe huge tax debts, ( and have a clear ability to pay the debt) get away with it.. If you don't believe look up tax articles written by David K. Johnson or Johston with the NY Times, at least I read some cool ones about IRS incompetence, esp bet/m yrs 1998 to 2001, and bear in mind anything he sasid then is probably much worse now. All you need to do is find someone who cares. I tried IRS Commissioner Rosotti, US Senater Feinstein, and numerous others, even ol' FOX News Bill O'Reilly, never heard a word back. Except from Rosotti, he simply told me he didn't believe what i told him. Good nite and good luck.

Answer 2

I'm a brutal libertarian-leaning conservative.

Budget Totals
Old budget was $3748.1268 billion
($2673 billion in spending, $1075.1268 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).

New budget is $2900.85 billion
($2293.7 billion in spending, $607.15 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).
You have cut the deficit by $847.28 billion.
Your new deficit is $-446.27 billion.

Oops!
You've cut so much that the federal budget now contains a substantial surplus. Many economists warn that this budget may help induce or prolong a recession, and ordinary citizens demand a refund. You might want to cut taxes or raise spending.

I'd phase a lot of that in, though. I couldn't eliminate a lot of those programs in one year without mass chaos.

Also, there's no provision for wholesale change of the tax code to a flat tax or VAT.

Ultimately - the $$ belongs to the people, not the goverment. We should decide what the tax rate ought to be and figure out how to spend the revenue rather than figure out what we want to spend and then taxing the people to acheive the resulting figure.

Answer 3

Sure. Bill Clinton did it -- first time in nearly 40 years. The current administration then sold your great-grandchildrens' future down the river. Nice, huh?

Answer 4

Yes I can. Elect Eggman as your next president.
