50s TV Show: Federal Budget, Economics & Government Spending

Trailer: On this episode of the Longines Chronoscope with Frank Knight, the special guest was Jay Bracken-Lee, the Governor of Utah. Bracken-Lee was on this episode to assess the feasibility of balancing the federal budget. He believes that it can and should be done and feels he knows how to do it. Bracken-Lee began to balance the budget in his state by using his veto power to deny a lot of unnecessary spending. He also reduced the number of employees in the government offices. Too many people create too little work. Idle workers affect the way productive workers do their job. So without the waste, there are more efficient workers. The biggest opposition he has seen is in the school corporations. They have been denied the ability to grow at the same rate they were hoping. However, the money saved in the government went to building new schools and renovations. In order to balance the federal budget, the federal government should turn their taxation powers over to the individual states. The states are much closer to the people and can better assess how much each person should pay. The states are already setup to tax the people, and it is costing the federal government a lot of overhead to process all federal taxes. The federal government will assess each state’s taxes. The state will then assess each person in its territory. Bracken-Lee supports his fellow Republicans, especially Senator Taft, in their next elections. He encourages all Republicans to get out and vote this year. See the full length video at: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com
