I agree we need out of the box thinking because the situation is pretty grim

Any legislated cap on spending is a good idea but i can see it becoming another regular circus like the debt ceiling

Extra stacks for local governments sounds good too but I'd worry that local government officials would spend their time working out ways they can make their stats look good versus doing the work they need to for their local communities. a bit like China

I think the out of the box thinking of no Income Tax would be such a huge shake up that itself would be a huge paradigm shift for everyone
