Solving The Deficit Problem

Roger Ewing is offering an unique approach to solving America's debt and deficit. No one has mentioned anything like this. Roger's program will reduce our country's debt and deficit in record time and without the pain that other programs offer. Roger knows how to solve problems. He was a Management Consultant to over 300 companies. And he is a registered independent voter without any bias. He tells it like it is. He is not a politician and does not need to worry about being elected or reelected. Americans are fed up with the President of the United States of America, the United States Senate, and the House of Representatives. Americans want our politicians to do what is right for America. Americans don't want to live in a welfare state, socialist state, Marxist state, Communist state, or Jihadist state. We want to live like Americans have lived for over 200 years in an American state. We are self-reliant and that has made America the greatest country in the world. In his new book, "Solving America's Debt and Deficit," Roger outlines new ways to reduce our country's financial problems. HE ADDRESSES INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE TAX REFORM, THE FEDERAL BUDGET, SPENDING, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE. He proposes a list of deductions as well as new revenue sources that could make America the envy of the world again. The American people will applaud his ideas but our politicians will consider them controversial. The politicians are very dependent on the special interest money to get reelected over and over again that their solving our country's problems takes a back seat. In their self-centered minds they believe they are entitled to spend a lifetime in their exalted positions in Washington. To say "no" to all that special interest money may be the end of their dream job and dream life. It is amazing that the politicians do not understand that by doing the right thing for America they would be reelected. And that's without the special interest money. The American people are smart enough to understand who is working for the good of our country. The biggest problem the American voters have is that some politicians are so adept at deception. Deception is a big part of the political landscape. The great sounding speech that promises everything but delivers nothing is par for the course. We must concentrate on a politician's actions and past history not his rhetoric. The United States of America was founded on high standards and principles. Each of us has to live up to those high standards and principles. We Americans can solve our debt and deficit problems. We can solve any problem. Let's stand together to fight the evil doers among us and let's do what is right for America.

I provide detailed examples on how to reduce the cost of health care by a conservative 21% without the need for federally managed health care system. In fact, my plan would actually result in a reduction of health care costs by more than a third, but I only use worst-case scenarios in my figures. More importantly, I believe this could be a bipartisan plan that both parties could support.

The growth of the national debt, which is considered unsustainable under current policies, continues to be one of the central issues of domestic federal policymaking. Addressing a federal budget deficit that is unsustainable over the long run involves choices. Fundamentally, the issues require deciding what government goods, services, and transfers are worth paying taxes for. Most people would agree that the country benefits from a wide range of government services-air traffic controllers, border security, courts and corrections, and so forth-provided by the federal government. Yet federal government provision of goods and services comprises only a modest portion of the federal budget. Transfers, including interest payments, accounted for around 75% of the federal budget. Central findings of this analysis include the following: A comparatively small share of federal spending is for the direct provision of domestic government goods and services. Transfers and payments to persons and to state and local governments constitute most of federal spending, about 75% of all federal spending. Defense spending, accounting for about 15% of federal spending, has declined as a share of output over the past 35 years, but it also tends to vary depending, in part, on the presence and magnitude of international conflicts. The problem with the debt lies not in the past but in the future, as growth in spending for health and Social Security is projected to continue faster than the economy as a whole. The increase in deficits and debt, in turn, leads to a significant increase in interest payments. Because much of the pressure on future spending arises from imbalances in Social Security and Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) trust funds, keeping these funds and their sources of financing intact is a concern that could constrain choices. Preserving entitlements would likely require significant increases in taxes, such as raising rates, reducing tax expenditures, increasing other taxes, or introducing new revenue sources. Reductions in discretionary spending are insufficient to reduce the deficit to a sustainable level, so limiting taxes as a percentage of output or constraining the overall size of the government to current levels would likely require significant cuts in mandatory spending, including entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Because the federal government provides about one-fifth of the revenue for state and local governments, cutbacks in transfers to these governments may, in part, shift the burden of providing services from the national to subnational governments rather than altering the overall size of government services.

From the authors of the national bestseller 13 Bankers, a chilling account of America’s unprecedented debt crisis: how it came to pass, why it threatens to topple the nation as a superpower, and what needs to be done about it. With bracing clarity, White House Burning explains why the national debt matters to your everyday life. Simon Johnson and James Kwak describe how the government has been able to pay off its debt in the past, even after the massive deficits incurred as a result of World War II, and analyze why this is near-impossible today. They closely examine, among other factors, macroeconomic shifts of the 1970s, Reaganism and the rise of conservatism, and demographic changes that led to the growth of major—and extremely popular—social insurance programs. What is unquestionably clear is how recent financial turmoil exacerbated the debt crisis while creating a political climate in which it is even more difficult to solve.

A New York Times Bestseller The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory -- the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades -- delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society. Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country. Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis. MMT, as Kelton shows, shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one of broader economic and social benefits. With its important new ways of understanding money, taxes, and the critical role of deficit spending, MMT redefines how to responsibly use our resources so that we can maximize our potential as a society. MMT gives us the power to imagine a new politics and a new economy and move from a narrative of scarcity to one of opportunity.
