Even better: require every aspect of the tax code to be periodically reauthorized by specific vote or it sunsets and the taxes go away.
I would suggest a spending cut trigger. Reverse the stream, now the default is, we cannot agree so we will spend. Make it law that if we cannot agree, the cuts are automatic. Add a rider that any automatic cuts have to be an equal percentage of all budgets and stop the foolishness of creating artificial pain points.
Well this is no surprise. How about a compromise trigger that would authorize the president to impound funds in tax receipts don’t reach a certain level; thereby the onus would be spending reductions, not tax increases.
