This would increase the total government revenue from 5.1 trillion to 7.9 trillion. That would change the government from running 1.3 trillion in the red every year to 1.5 trillion in the black. The biggest hurdle after that is prohibiting congressmen from spending that money. Then, cut FWA (fraud, waste and abuse) and downsize government bureaucracies, we could eliminate the deficit in no more than 20 years.
