- blooalien 4y agoMy problem with exactly that is that governments in general seem to be keen to spend money quite freely on making, participating in, and/or funding various wars and other military spending, yet are loathe to spend more than they absolutely must on things like education, infrastructure, and other things which most directly benefit their own people. It's the people's money they're spending, so logically they should be spending it most freely "at home" to it's own citizens' direct benefit instead of abroad. Not to say that we shouldn't support our allies in times of need, but … priorities?
- ahtihn 4y agoThe federal government's budget is completely unrelated to tax income. If the government wants to spend more money, it doesn't need to raise taxes it can just increase the deficit. More taxes just means less deficit.
- sdenton4 4y agoOr just print more money...
- danuker 4y agoYou could cut other taxes. Or you could remove the received funds from existence (such as by paying down government debt). But fact is, greenhouse gases have the potential to end humanity, and the US is not addressing them enough.
