Looking at the 90's when we were able to create a surplus briefly the rapid growth in tax receipts had a tremendous effect. The strong growth in the stock market was a significant factor . In addition to addressing Medicare, Social Security and other expenses, trying to find ways to stimulate economic growth and thereby the stock market deserve serious consideration. I would be happy to volunteer my assistance if I could be of help. Thank you Howard McCrady I wish you success.

All the tasks have been unnecessary and FORCE IS A THREAT! I don't appreciate being threatened by those who work for us.... "TASK FORCE?" All the tasks have been unnecessary and FORCE IS A THREAT!

Marumoto Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:37:40 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=24581#comment-84303 I saw your presentation last night on C-Span, and have a suggestion for making one budget item, health insurance, less of a monster: All health providers must be required to reduce fees even below what is now standard for Medicare patients. Why should a federal insurance program or private insurance company have to pay more than the average client's annual income for just one essential surgery or other course of treatment? The providers' profits allow them to purchase expensive homes, travel the world, and amass much personal property, and obviously the insurance programs are in effect paying for this affluence!

There's only so much the public can do ranting to themself about the repeat pattern of failures of our politicians regarding overspending. Policians are supposed to be instruments of the voting citizens, hard to believe the majority of us think nothing of overdrawing our bank account by the trillions. Hopefully they'll also suggest removal of the forces that assisted the US taxpayers into this foolish position; that being the lobbyist and whatever else can be identified to be aiding uncontrolled spending.

Instead, the population should elect candidates to Congress who will lower federal spending. America does not need any tax increases.
