[QUOTE="klein, post: 829262, member: 23950"] Well, if it would be me deciding : Start with cutting the Bush tax cuts to the rich, cut off medicare/aid & SS for the rich. Introduce a partial self payment ($50 sounds reasonable to see a doctor, while on medicare). That should stop most people from seeing one, when they have a light illness, llike the flu, cold or sneezes. Also implement a self payment on prescription drugs, of 10-20%.(unless those drugs cost 100's or thousands of dollars per month). That will aslo stop some from seeing a doctor, and getting free drugs, for those light symptons as mentioned above. (free prescription cold medicine is cheaper then off the shelf non-prescription). Taxation overhaul (Tax reform) - Make it fairer, and cancel some of those rediculous tax write-offs. And, if all that isn't enough, add a Vat Tax sometime in the future. I know all the above sounds a bit harsh, but the longer they wait, the higher the national debt, and the more painful it will get. They need to avoid becomming another Greece, and run out of money overnight ! [/QUOTE]
