Economics Ch:7/9
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The federal budget is an explosive problem which if not acted upon
|
|||
|
|
soon, threatens to swallow the entire domestic income. I have placed
|
|||
|
|
together several decisions that create a minimal impact upon the economy,
|
|||
|
|
yet reduce the federal budget deficit by 2/3s. The aggregate demand curve
|
|||
|
|
ultimately will shift, not greatly, to the right as the economy is slightly
|
|||
|
|
increased throughout my proposal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To accomplish this feat, the plan to be presented to Congress in
|
|||
|
|
January will consist of many revenue increases and some spending increases
|
|||
|
|
and decreases. This plan will not decrease the entire deficit to a
|
|||
|
|
positive budget because the impacts of that kind of change could severly
|
|||
|
|
cripple the economy. Taxes must be raised, yet to offset the taxes, some
|
|||
|
|
spending must be spent to help profit the economy. My plan is similar to
|
|||
|
|
the Gramm-Rudman Hollings Law, except these cuts are possible, but it will
|
|||
|
|
take more than 1 term.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The taxing that I plan would move the aggregate demand curve to the
|
|||
|
|
left, as money is taken away from the people. Imposing the Ad Valorem tax
|
|||
|
|
on energy, increasing the average residential bills by $50 a year would
|
|||
|
|
reduce the deficit by 25 billion, and shrink the economy by 4 billion.
|
|||
|
|
Making all entitlements subject to income tax would reduce the deficit by
|
|||
|
|
74 billion and shrink the economy by 24.66 billion. Basing Medicare
|
|||
|
|
payments on cost of managed care plans would reduce the deficit by 70
|
|||
|
|
billion, and shrink the economy by 23.33 billion. Converting Medicaid to a
|
|||
|
|
block grant in states would reduce the deficit by 54 billion, yet decrease
|
|||
|
|
the economy. These tax increases will reduce the deficit by 223 billion,
|
|||
|
|
and through the net tax multiplier (mpc/1-mpc while mpc = .25) the economy
|
|||
|
|
will shrink at around 70 billion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My increased spending shall position the aggregate demand curve back to
|
|||
|
|
its origional place then move it a tiny fraction to the right, as marginal
|
|||
|
|
growth would be accomplished through this entire plan. Increasing defenses
|
|||
|
|
3% in 2002 would increase the deficit by 44 billion, and expand the economy
|
|||
|
|
58.66 billion. Increasing domestic discretionary spending would increase
|
|||
|
|
the deficit by 9 billion, and expand the economy by 12 billion. The
|
|||
|
|
spending revenues would raise the deficit by 53 billion, and through the
|
|||
|
|
expenditure multiplier (1/1-mpc), will expand the economy by 70.66 billion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In retrospect, this plan will reduce the deficit by 170 billion and
|
|||
|
|
increase the economy by .66 billion. My political cost throughout this
|
|||
|
|
process would rise to 340, making it difficult to be reelected, but once my
|
|||
|
|
plan is placed into work, it will reduce the deficit, and keep the economy
|
|||
|
|
stable.
