The national debt is 19.3 trillion dollars. How do we fix it?

[g5000]

Congress could reduce the debt tomorrow, if they wanted to. It would be incredibly simple.

However, it would require them cutting off huge campaign re-election funding sources.

And so they won't do it, and they will continue to divide and conquer you rubes with the bullshit meme it is the other party's fault there is so much spending going on.

 

[OnePercenter]

And again,

Allow businesses to deduct employee expenses 1:1 from federal taxes owed.

A company can either pay their federal taxes or give their employees raises or bonuses.

Of course South Carolina won't continue to receive their 7.8:1 return anymore. So sad for them. How much welfare does Texas receive? Which is the problem.

Pussy Red States will complain.

 

[Rustic]

Bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Offer tax incentives, scale back the nazi epa, get the government out of the way, they will come back. In other words, vote the Democrats OUT. This debt has weakened us as a country, and must be fixed.

Add 125 - 180+ trillion to that number, then you have the real number...

 

[SmokeALib]

And you pussy blue states are gonna get your asses whipped in the upcoming elections. Start your crying now Taker.

More revenue, less spending

Less spending on wars, end the tax loop holes for the rich and more efficiency. The reason I don't like republicans is they want to cut areas that grow our economy and kill jobs that allow millions of people to be part of the middle class. That isn't wise.

Our economy is very much a tech and science one when dealing with the middle and upper middle class. Bad idea to weaken that.

It can not be fixed.

Comrade Sanders will follow Somalia's foot steps.

We are so screwed.

We need to implement a national fat tax. We could raise trillions of dollars and it would be fair, fat asses on both side of the aisle , rich and poor it covers them all

.

How conservative of you. Tax our way out of debt.

Lowering wages to the level to lick outsourced corporate ass is the way to somalia. lol lol lol

We need to make it very hard for these businesses to do business within our economy if they're going to screw us over. We must protect our workers and work to protect the small business that is being mashed up into paste by big corporate power.

Enforcing our anti-trust laws
Ending free trade
Focusing on our childrens education

I really don't see anything wrong with sanders plan. Of course, people like you want to go back to the 19th century and believe that eh worker is just a piece of meat to be used.

Federal taxes owed are calculated after employee expenses are deducted.

What will net corporate taxes be when many companies have negative tax liabilities under your "plan"?

Oh yea,my plan don't tax food, every year around April 15 th, people would have to go to weigh in centers ( just like the blue states have emission tests for cars) over weight pay the Damn fine

 

[HenryBHough]

Fixing it is quite easy if you're ruthless.

Just repudiate the currency and start over.

Hey, it's done almost annually in Argentina.

 

[g5000]

Ban all tax expenditures. Boom! I just handed you an $800 billion annual surplus.

See how easy that is?

You can use the surplus to lower EVERYONE's tax rates, AND pay down the debt. Then when the debt is paid off, lower EVERYONE's tax rates even more.

Simple.

But all those deductions, credits, and exemptions are there because our politicians have been paid a lot of re-election cash to put them there, and keep them there. Utter and total corruption.

This is how Congress is able to achieve a 98 percent re-election rate despite having single digit approval ratings.

American Politboro.

You want REAL campaign finance reform? Ban tax expenditures. All of them.

Common fucking sense.

 

[g5000]

Raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70, then index the age to 9 percent of the population going forward.

Boom! More surplus, and SS and Medicare are solvent forever.

See how fucking easy this is?

We are living DECADES longer than our ancestors who established the retirement age at 65. We should be working longer than they did. Common fucking sense.

So Americans should live to work, not work to live?

You have an entitlement mentality. You can work as much or as little as you wish. Just don't expect the government to carry your non-working happy ass any longer than it carried your ancestors asses.

We are living DECADES longer, we should be working longer.

Employee expenses would become a 1:1 tax credit.

Your argument is business ISN'T over-taxed?

1) Close tax loopholes and restrict use of tax havens.

2) Cut spending, primarily defense spending.

It's as simple as that.
