Reply #66: Or rather than raise taxes, one could cut [View All]

[...of J.Temperance]

Wasteful spending and eliminate certain government departments, such as the hugely wasteful Department of Homeland Security for instance.

Also rather than raising taxes, after say next Summer, the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars per MONTH that are being wasted on giving money to the unthankful Iraqi's should be stopped.

Privatizing NASA would again free up A LOT of money, NASA could adequately survive by being funded by private patronage as opposed to government funds.

These things would create quite a nice nest egg that could be spent on educational programs etc for the poor.
