I have an idea. LOWER ALL TAXES NOW!!!

YES!!!

I might add:
- cut the government workforce(non-defense)by 1/3
- open up federal lands for oil drilling/exploration
- fast track nuclear power programs
- neuter the EPA
- major tort reform
- let the big three auto companies FAIL
- reform IRS with flat tax or fair tax plan

How about.....

Reduce all elected officials pay to 1978 levels and then,
freeze all elected officials pay until the budget is balanced.

I always thought the only change the Dems could make that actually might work would be to put forward the Fair Tax as their own idea. They would tout the following Dem benefits:
It taxes lavish living and high consumption, not saving and investment.
No more loopholes for the rich.
No advantages for foreign manufacturers.
Nearly eliminate the IRS.
They would get to hand out rebate checks to everybody at the beginning of each year.
Seniors could get larger rebate checks to offset their years of paying income tax.
