Let me begin by saying that I'm a Teenager who's going to be participating in an upcoming debate at my high school between the Teenage Republicans and Young Democrats. I was assigned the topic: The US Budget. I am apart of the Teenage Republicans, and am seeking some help or opinions. Here is what I believe.
US Budget:
1. Taxes
-Generate more revenue by cutting taxes at each level (Corp. Tax, Cap. Gains, Income Tax, etc)
2. Foreign Affairs:
-Reform our foreign aid so we are actually holding countries accountable. (Giving billions to Pakistan, yet "They didn't know" Osama was there)
-Stop funding the UN (G-77 System, wasteful spending)
3. Entitlements:
-Reform SS!! Very simply put, raise the retirement age so SS becomes sustainable
-Why are we cutting the payroll tax? It created a deficit in SS last year, and will continue to do so
-Start IRA's, let people pay what they want! But, they must contribute 3%, they can't not put into it
-Medicare/Medicaid (This is where I'm weakest)
-Obamacare needs to be repealed, cost too much
4. Illegal's
-Stop the incentives for them to come here. Start with repealing '82 Supreme Court decision that everyone is entitled to K-12 education
-Troops on the border
5. Drill!
-NO social services to them
