    Solution:

    1) Get rid of the current fiat monetary system and replace it with a monetary system based on the gold standard.

    2) Stop increasing the national debt. With a gold standard-based monetary system, huge budget deficits are very difficult to run. The basic reason why the U.S. government has been able to run ginormous budget deficits in the 21st century is because the last link of the U.S. dollar to gold was severed in 1971.

    How can we slow federal spending -
    That is how politicians keep getting re-electing -by bringing the bacon home!

    Every congressman wants to cut the budget - exempt for their pet peeve and their district wants

    Same thing with cutting taxes. Republicans especially are really bad about cutting taxes without offsetting the tax cuts with spending cuts.
