How would YOU decrease the national debt?

I'm no environmentalist, but I would start with taxing the Hell out of those stupid 4x4s (the ones driven by posh ****s) and high-performance cars that do sod all MPG. Apart from the extra wear & tear on our already pot-holed roads they are using up the finite amount of petrol quicker.

I would also put heavy taxes on second homes in places that have very limited housing (Cornwall etc). Bloody Location Location Location always seems to feature some Londonite looking for a second home on the coast...

I'm sure my ideas are riddled with problems but it would make me feel better!



Where would you start?

e : I would run you over in my high performance car in the hope that it somehow made the world a better place

At least the gov't would get more tax out of you then!

I know my ideas were not realistic (duh), but it is galling to purposefully buy an economical car and see morons runnin around in 18 mpg cars just so they can tell the world they earn a lot of money.

Simple:

1. Scrap Road Tax in favor of a greater Tax on fuel - The more you use the more you pay.
2. Scrap Tax credits for over £15000 a year (combined) earners.
3. Sell the BBC
4. Withdraw form the EU (Costing us a fortune)
5. Withdraw for Afghanistan.
6. Scrap All nuclear weapons in the UK. Sell what we have off to the highest bidder.
7. Combine all armed forces into one unit. (Like the US marines)
8. Greater help for people on JSA. Introduce food vouchers and bus passes instead of handing out cash, in turn limiting the amount of cash money given.
9. Privates loads of stuff (cant be bother listing them)

Ohh yeh, and 10. sell all the wine.

Done, piece of ****.

Hmm, have you actually seen any US Marines in action? It's all brainless KILL KILL KILL MAARRRINEZZZ HOORAH. No thanks, the septics can keep that stuff.

I'd agree with point number one though.
