Solution+-+Miscellaneous+New+Taxes

The main ideas of the "solution" are taxing various other goods and services that are commonly used throughout our society. Goods and services being taxed include highway tolls, fees to pay for air traffic control and the air transportation system, national park/ land admission fees, carbon tax, BTU tax, higher gas taxes, and taxing junk food and soft drinks.

Some positives of the solutions include generated revenue to reduce federal debt.

Some negatives of the solutions include public dislike and general collection difficulties.

Economists and informed citizens will argue for this solution as they will understand its importance in reducing the national debt.

Most other Americans who are generally uninformed or do not keep themselves abreast on current economic problems and just view this as more money they have to pay.
