I’m sure some of you have seen how Warren Buffet would balance the budget, or at least reign in spending, if he were in charge.
Legislators that fail to achieve a balanced budget in X amount of time……are ineligible to run for reelection.
That’s a start but they would probably tax us to death ( even more than now) because we all know spending $ for them is a worse addiction than a person who’s on meth.
The other thing they would do is game the system. The CBO does budget scoring, they work for Congress (hence the C before the B), so they will score a bill as they are told. IF Congress decrees that in year 1 X will happen and in years 2-10 Y, then that's how the CBO has to score it. Thus you get bills that show almost no impact in year 1, and now we have a balanced budget, when anyone with two coherent cells know it's going to add to the deficit. |
