No and dont raise taxes either because its really really important to have a balanced...I mean, happy rich guys.
But what he will do is something bold and something only a true leader with balls can do. Kick the poors ass! Yeah!!!!
I can easily balance the budget without raising taxes.
1. Raise the Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages to 70, with the eligibility age indexed to 9 percent of the population going forward. We are living decades longer than our ancestors, we should be working longer.
2. Ban all tax expenditures. Deductions, credits, subsidies, boondoggles, carve-outs, whatever you want to call them. Ban them. Every dollar of credit, subsidy, deduction given to someone has to come out of someone else's pocket or be borrowed from China, Japan, the Fed, etc.
3. Bring Defense spending back to Cold War levels. We have not spent this much on Defense since WWII. We are not in a World War, and we are not facing an existential threat as we did during the Cold War.
There. Not only would you not have to raise taxes, you could actually
lower tax rates. For
everyone.
