We need to work on reducing our national dept in ways that do not hurt the American families but allows us to make significant improvement in reducing the national debt.
One thought is Wall Street. There are Millions of trade transaction taking place each day A simple debt reduction fee attached to each transaction would go directly to the reduction of the national dept. This income by law could not be used, transfered, or borrowed for any reason. It must go from the trade firm directly to the national dept. This fee hurts no one. Wall street will continue to trade every day, traders will not stop trading. The fee could be $ 1 to $5 per transaction. This could be a no brainer in billions of reduction with no hurt to anyone.
