Recession? I've Got a Solution

I applaud you're actually noticing that there is a problem with thiose deficit twins, and proposing ANYTHING to help bring them down.

I feel the same way that they need to be reduced. I'll throw in some other ideas to improve the situation.

tax non-renewable fuel heavily. I'm talking $2.00 a gallon additional. basically this will increase the price to where people reduce consumption, and imports will drop. offset this tax with equally reduced payroll taxes, either SS or Medicare so that there is no tax increase, just a shift from taxing work to taxing consumption of scarce resources.
