Make the income tax 1%. Then establish a 20% consumption tax. Promise a big rebate to the public for every department eliminated. Give them a ‘bonus’ check they can ‘touch and feel’. After 2 years the 20% tax can be lowered to fit spending That’s why we need these ‘bonus’ checks sent out. Skin in the game-heard it somewhere.

I guess you didn’t bother to look at the links I provided.
Your suggestion attacks the wrong problem.
It’s entitlements!

How does your solution handle that?

The hiring of 87K IRS agents will be a boon to every college graduate with a degree that contains the word “studies” in it—gender studies, African-American studies, LGBTQ studies, women’s studies, transgender studies, etc. None of them will be qualified to add and subtract numbers, but in the infamous words of Hillary Clinton, “what difference does it matter now?”

Those are details/too much information. We’ll have to work around the edges on entitlements. Millenials(40 and under) drop out of SSI and get a different system in place once they realize SSI is not there for them. Retirement income for government employees-cap it. Cut spending enough to grow ourselves out of our debt. Every baby boomer will have to be dead when the goal is reached. Could mean SSI limits to the rich. Kicking the can down the road on your entitlements won’t do-we can agree.

Then establish a 20% consumption tax import tariff.

Fixed it.

Guaranteed that all these new IRS hirings will be leftist blacks, lesbians, gays, trans crazies, handicapped and other minorities. And some Aleutian Islanders and Samoan wrestlers if they are communist enough. So who will they go after?

ANSWER-— Just about all states voters rolls are on the internet. They show if you have registered Republican so that you can vote in your states primaries.

Not without a President signing off on the legislation, short of the unlikely ability to override a veto.

...the IRS is looking for special agents who can "carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary"

We can't just 'move on' about the above - someone needs to get to the bottom of this one...
