LyrArc Article Gist
The skills to navigate different personalities and work patiently on the issues surrounding changes to the U.S. tax system of Rep. Dave Camp (MI), chairman of the U.S House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, will be immensely useful in the effort to make changes to the U.S. tax system. Camp works well with fellow House Republican leaders Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, and his Democratic counterpart in the U.S. Senate Max Baucus. Camp is a good listener, refuses to engage in partisan criticism, and has the patience to work through difficult issues of achieving savings and keeping fairness in the the tax changes. Earlier efforts to achieve consensus in late 2011 failed, making it even more important to have leadership which can create productive debate and bridge the differences. The tax changes are part of the overall effort for U.S. economic recovery by reducing the deficit.

Alan Simpson on the August 2 Debt Ceiling and Deficit legislation of August 2, 2011

01/16/2009

Alan Simpson of the Simpson-Bowles Commission talks about the debt panel or super-committee's task in coming up with $1.2 trillion in savings by the end of 2011. Simpson says the work of that committe will be similiar to the work he and Bowles engaged in. An enormous effort will go into clearing misperceptions and preconceived notions. He says there are only so many ways of coming up with savings and everything has to be touched to get to the goal, given that the U.S. borrows 39 cents of every dollar it spends.

Feldstein's proposal for a 2% cap on reduction in taxes from deductions and exclusions.

05/04/2011

Feldstein says its important to increases taxes not tax rates. And the the way to go is to follow the President's Bowles-Simpson Deficit Commission's proposal on tax expenditures. As it is politically difficult to eliminate deductions and exclusions he suggests another proposal- limit the reduction in taxes with a 2% of adjusted gross income cap on the reduction any taxpayer gets.

There is little support for cutting the two programs polls show. This suggests that politicians who fight for cuts in the popular programs risk being punished in the next elections. Voter awareness about the problems the large budget deficits pose for the U.S. and what action needs to be taken is growing, but only growing slowly.
