What can be done to cut cost in the short term and to convince Congress they need to act now?

In the past 3 years the biggest issue Congress would look at was Steroids in Baseball. I don't want to hear this Democrat - Republican finger pointing. I am asking for solutions.

Best Answer gets 10 points

Answer 1

Well, obviously we need to end the war in Iraq - it's the single biggest drain on the economy.

Eliminate corporate taxes.  I am a die-hard Democrat, but I also paid attention in Econ 1.  The idea is to get money circulating through the system faster, so more money can be taxed at a lower rate.  Corporations are not people.  Who do you think actually pays those taxes?  People aka consumers.

Answer 2

Sigh.

That's what we're all wondering. But the only way to cut the costs is to shapen up the economy. That will be the next President's job.

I guess the more misery we show the Congress and the more we nag, they'll be annoyed and bring it up at the next meeting. Possible.
