Warren Buffett offers one of the best quotes I’ve heard about the debt ceiling when he says “You just pass a law that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election
To discipline Trenton, I suggest a Balanced Budget and Debt Reduction Act accompanied by a Fraud & Abuse Commission. Quasi government “Authorities”
will have no power to tax and bond and their expenditures must be approved by the Assembly. We need a flat state income tax in range of 3.5%, and need
to free public workers to establish their own 401-k pension plan where they are free to decide how to fund it each year. Younger workers can elect to take home more in their paycheck, while older public workers can elect to put more into their pensions. This will take a tax burden directly off the property owners!
The State Assembly and Senate must accept the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as their own health insurance plan, or agree to not
implement same in NJ. Lottery money goes to benefit seniors and for no other purpose. Anyone raiding this fund is subject to sanctions.
Legislation that adds substantial debt or deficit to taxpayers must be approved by a public vote and 2/3s majority. If you are on welfare, you must submit to a
periodic drug test. Welfare comes with an expiration date. You must reapply each year to show continued need. This is a safety net, not a way of life.
Assembly and Senate Term Limits shall be imposed. If you can’t get the job done in four or six years, then you return home and are ineligible for re-election.
Finally, a major civil rights issue must be decided to allow sweeping change in education and tax relief. Parents deserve the right and freedom to educate their children in the public or private school that gives their child the best chance for a quality education. The money to fund that education should follow the child, not the zip code. It is every parent’s right to demand this equal opportunity.
