There are several steps I will take to decrease the Federal
Debt.
- Decrease the Deficit: The higher the deficit the more the debt
the government has. TO decrease the debt we have to increase the
generation of more debt. This is possible only after reducing the
deficit.
- Adopt austerity measures: Government expenditure on functioning
and welfare have to decrease, we need to give less cash out for
retirement plans, unemployment compensation etc. Austerity measure
will further decrease the debt the government has. Any unnecessary
expenditure by the government has to go.
- Increase the Trade: This might include depreciating the
currency and promoting the trade with the outside world. The more
we trade the better it is for the economy as we are earning more
revenue from it which will help us reduce the debt.
- Increase the Tax recovery: Government function on taxes, the
more taxes we have the lesser the government need to borrow and
lessen the debt. Start recovering the taxes to reduce the
debt.
