The Strong America Now solution eliminates the present deficit decades faster than any other existing plan. It does not increase taxes and keeps Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
America's income is about $2 trillion per year,while we spend
$3 trillion/year. This adds $1 trillion to our present $14 trillion-plus debt year after year.
Financial experts say we only have two or three years to stop this deficit spending or our great dollar will be worthless.
Mike George, founder of Strong America Now, said that 25 percent of our tax dollars spent are wasted. Eliminating this waste would eliminate our defict spending by 2017. Wow!
Waste reduction has been George's very successful past work as chief executive officer of a company that has assisted many large corporations such as Zerox and Caterpiller, and several foreign countries to become more successful.
