We already have a AAA bond rating for most credit agencies
A balanced budget amendment would basically just give fiscal power to Judges
Infrastructure does not add to the deficit, only the debt, because they're one-time investments
Yes have to keep the judges out of it. I misused deficit for debt when discussing infrastructure. One time investments are the way to go. I hate blank checks without deadlines like bridges to nowhere and the big dig. What else do you think?
Tax Reform, Entitlement Reform, and Job Creation will balance the budget. It's too late now for me to get into details, but the solution should focus on those three areas. As well as looking into how to lower medical costs overall, such as allowing imported drugs from Canada and allowing Medicare to bargain for prices.
I'm at least with you on Medicare bargaining for prices. As for taxes, if we tax everyone at 100% for 20 years, we'd still be in debt. This means taxing the rich higher than what they're taxed now would produce nothing but a little chunk change. No one ever wants to cut entitlements, but the less we spend, the less into debt we go. Jobs can be created through lower corporate taxes, job training centers for the homeless, non-discriminatory policies regarding minorities and homosexuals, term limits for welfare recipients, repealing repetitive stress laws, targeting investments for infrastructure, tax incentives for small farms, and applying the right to work law. These implementations would lead to more workers paying taxes to the government. Spending must remain low though.
