Overcoming a Deficit

As of April 25, 2009 the national debt of the united states is well over the 11 trillion dollar mark.  Yet in Washington, politicians continue to spend more and more money.  Why?  It’s because they are expected to bail out the American peoples’ debt.  Well I’ve got news for you, it’s not going to happen.  What  happens when the U.S. government can no longer borrow money?  It would be a depression worse than any other economic crisis ever experienced.

Luckily, we’re not beyond repair.  In 1999, the U.S. announced that it would begin reducing the national debt.  What happened?  September 11, 2001 ended any hopes of buying back the national debt.  We were forced into the Middle East by the Middle East.  My plan is really quite simple.  First we should pull out of the Middle East.  We should leave just enough military personel there to track down and kill Osama bin Laden.  Next, we should abolish all taxes except for the sales tax.  The sales tax would jump dramatically, but all workers would receive their full paycheck.  It would also allow us to tax illegal aliens equally because after all; they buy goods in the U.S. while they live here.  Finally, we need to cut down on welfare.  There are people that need it and are looking for jobs, but many people live freely off the welfare system.  That has to stop.  To become the responsible nation we used to be we have to make the government and its people accountable.  Thank you and God bless.
