Drop military spending to 1/3 & end all current military ops, cut all international aid bullshit to 0 and increase research and NASA funding. Beeline techs for the spaceship parts and go for the Alpha Centauri space race victory, hoo!

just let the dollar plummet further, pump up the yuan. Import wills halt, export will increase. Tax revenue will increase and debt will be inflated away. Just need a way to convince china to give up their fixed currency peg.

Macro economics at work.

OOOOOOOOOOR. let's go the Tea Party way and cut away the education department... Laughing

What a useless exercise, all they need to do is have the banks pay back all the money they stole.

aaah just another stupid 'let's get the money they stole back'.

They invested in equity (shares that are) AND need to pay preferential dividends. Most of the investments (such as the one in Citi, already paid off x2 x3 for the government). I don't consider that stealing. They just made money using your tax money. I agree the banks completely eradicated home values and personal wealth, but the government did not steal your money Wink

cut the spending from the military, pump that into science and education, raise the tax for the wealthy and junk food and problem solved...

But we all know that it's a little bit more complicated than that, and that the wealthy will never allow the bigger tax for the wealthy because they are asshats...

Of course not, your 'model' is kind of socialistic in spirit and that is a BIG no-no in the US.

Cut Government spending?

Cut the government and all it's services, redistribute all stolen money (aka Taxes), to it's previous owners, allow for the current economic system driven out of fiat money to collapse, draw a new monetary system that attributes only real value to it's money.

All problems solved...

Your budget deficit for 2015 is $-80B
SS deficit solved: -25%

Defence budget cut by 2/3-rds, CIA budget by 1/3, and rounded up some others -1 or -2. Rised taxes for all above 100k and for corporate income by 5%, managers income is taxed like other income, fuck banks in teh butt for the recent financial crysis, more social security funds for fighting povetry.

Great game, would play again.
