I have to say that I am becoming more convinced that we need to jettison this tax code and replace it with something far simpler and with far fewer deductions and credits. It would be much more honest to bring in a predictable (for both payer and payee) revenue and to directly fund programs that congress deems socially desirable and economically feasible.
I also believe in a program by program review to determine what is redundant and what is effective. This would of course include the defense budget. That kind of review, however, would not be cheap - it would consume huge amounts of personnel hours.
We don't, however, need to start cutting with a chainsaw - more like a garden weeder - dig out the weeds and leave the healthy plants.
Regards,
D-Ray
