Right now the government is wasting the money. Giving them more will not solve the problem. Let's have a 30% across the board tax increase on everyone- including the 40+% who pay no income taxes. However, we would couple that with a 30% across the board decrease in all spending- every single program with no sacred cows. Defense, SS, medicare, medicaide- cut it all. Also, a 5 year freeze on increases in government spending with increases tied to inflation after that. Never happen because the government will never give up that power of the purse.
