Morning Glory: The Congress GOP must find new sources of revenue
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Congress requires a new income to make it Permeable budget And unlock the reconciliation process – whether in a “one big nice account” or two – if the President Trump’s agenda will accomplish it without bleeding with huge and liquid quantities of deficit.
State debt is currently more than $ 36 trillion. We pay interest on that debt, expenditures that grow fast. And we have to pay that debt, not to increase it with a bigger debt service. We also need new expenditures – for example, a huge increase in procurement in the Ministry of Defense – increasing which, if not at least partially, will compensate for a reduction in current consumption or a new income, debt exceeded $ 40 trillion in the second term of the President. Here are four proposals for GOP buds::
1. Americans are frugal. They saved more than $ 37 trillion pension savings in 401 (K) plans and traditional IRA -im. These savings have never been taxed. They will be taxed after withdrawal. Most savings do not want to withdraw that money until they retire and their tax circle does not fall. In fact, many will never pull the people who saved him, but will be transferred to heirs. Thus, the Congress, open one time window that allows these savers to turn these funds into a Roth IRA for a one-time plane tax, say 10% or 15% or whatever brings the present value of delayed taxation. Get money now for use in the budget/reconciliation process.

2. Sell the federal rights of land and federal spectrum. Merit for AEI -e Matt Contitti for this proposal. Now they have a lot of land and a lot of spectrum. Auction part of it. Maybe a lot. This will increase productivity in the country and bring income.
Trump’s administrator for pausing grants, federal help programs after executive order
3. Make a so -called “sin tax” again. In recent years, many countries have legalized both marijuana and gambling online. These are the facts. They are stubborn. Both were a bad choice of politics, but the states have a police authority unless they are left to federal legislation. Congress There is no stomach for ban or in the industry, so they impose federal tax on any sale of products related to marijuana and each individual gambling transaction via the Internet. Suppose the revenue of the state’s income and put the first dollars of taxes on these activities in the federal treasury and may be re -examined by the states of these bad ideas. If not, at least the malignant development of drugs and betting will help the Earth as a whole payment of negative external affairs with long and deficit.
4. In the new budget, make a 10 percent “decrease in” federal civil labor, authorization “regardless of any other law or regulation.” Congress was built by the beast of the Federal Administrative State. This may approve the president to take the ax – without question. Every job in America knows that when books do not balance, the workforce decreases. It is time for the federal government to do the same thing, as difficult as the employees who are affected.
