OK, OK. Ya got me. I think that the economy topic is a good compromise. I
like the idea - just trying to figure out what a good resolution would
be. Talk about broad - or narrow - this topic could turn into anything.
Here are some of my little ideas:
Resolved: that the U.S. government should significantly increase/decrease
taxation rates.
That's huge. Remember - these are extremely preliminary ideas from
someone who knows little about the economy.
Resolved: that the power of the Federal Reserve Board should be reduced.
Resolved: that Alan Greenspan should remain head of the FRB.
Resolved: that the U.S. government should significantly decrease tariffs
on international trade.
Resolved: that the U.S. government should rely on budget cuts rather than
increased taxes to balance federal budget.
Resolved: that the U.S. government should eliminate off-budget
calculations in determining the federal budget deficit.
Any more ideas/input on these?
