Preliminary Proposal by Debt Commission

[QUOTE=Jim in CT;810173RIJIMMY, I was in the USMC, and as such, I was on the public dole. SO I see the value in everyone paying their fair share. But before we discuss tax increases, THERE IS SO MUCH WASTE that could be eliminated. I believe that if we were smart with efficiencies, we could LOWER taxes further, but still have enough revenue to pay for public costs. Just a hunch, I have nothing to base that on.[/QUOTE]

im with you. There is also the component of lowering the tax rate so that may offset the home interest deduction, dont forget that.
and happy vets day too!

Every Fed. employee got a raise this year. But the people on SSI have not had a cost of living increase in the 2 years Obama has been in office. AARP should be marching all over Washington.
