  • Expand 529 college savings plan to include student loan payments
    Currently, the 529 student savings plan is only useable in the current school year. The expansion of the plan to include student (and parent) college loans would enable students and parents to pay off their loans faster. The student loan debt load is inhibiting the entire economy, including housing, by preventing young people and their parents from taking on additional debt to purchase homes.

  • Stop Online Job Applications
    I've talked to many unemployed individuals who talk about the difficulty getting a job, because of online applications. My son got a job after looking for months, only because he met someone whose husband worked for the company, and he pulled my son's application, and offered him the job. How are people supposed to get jobs when they can not get an interview? Applicants are also warned against calling to follow up on the status of their application. Personal interviews can reveal more about an individuals work ethic!

  • Tax Organized Religion
    Organized religions enjoy tax breaks that are outrageous. These tax breaks amount to at least 71 billion dollars annually and that's only what can be accounted for. Countless billions cannot be accounted for. These tax breaks violate the separation of church and state and it is time to end them.

  • Highways Rebuilt by Drivers Who Drive the Most: Tax Commuters!
    We all know our highways need consistent maintenance. We're doing our best by buying green cars, carpooling and using the bus. Still, too many commuters are clogging the roads with little consequence. Report your mileage at registration time and pay taxes based on your mileage. Less driving equals less taxes. More driving, more tax. You get what you pay for.

  • Stop the Furloughs, Retirement Reductions, Benefits Cuts & Pay Freezes of Federal Employees!!
    I am a Civil Servant for the past 10 years (GS-5) and every dollar that is cut from my benefits means I have to pay for the difference. At GS-5 level that makes a big difference as I don't make 100k/year. The furloughs will cut my pay 13% this year and that's hard when your supporting a family. 20 billion in sequester savings (at most) will not make a difference in a multi-trillion dollar budget deficit. Look elsewhere and stop targeting Federal Civil Servants by using us as scapegoats for every financial problem this country has.
