I have figured out a way to pay down the National Debt and make SS solvent FOREVER.
Every day billions of stock transactions flow through the stock exchanges in the United States.
Simply impose a 1 dollar tax on EVERY financial transaction via the stock markets and we would have billions of dollars to pay down the National Debt ( pay it off actually in pretty good time ) and completely fund Social Security. This fee would be imposed on stocks, bonds, derivatives and any other financial instruments.
And a 1 dollar tax would hardly be noticed in transactions that often involve thousands / tens of thousands as the wealthy trade paper.
