Allard said the <br />government has eliminated deficit spending and <br />now the challenge is to pay down the debt. <br /> <br />We are at a point when we could have a <br />balanced budget even without Social Security, <br />Allard said, adding that Social Security needs to <br />be allowed to keep its excess dollars in cash <br />deposits rather than having them go into the <br />general fund where they are spent. <br /> <br />He said that it is important to change Social <br />Security because if the system continues as is, <br />Social Security will be bankrupt by the year <br />2014. <br /> <br />Allard also said: <br /> <br />* This is the year of the census and it <br />is "very important for Colorado" to get <br />an accurate count. <br /> <br />"We are on the verge of a new <br />representative in Congress," he said. <br /> <br />* It is unlikely that the reduction or <br />elimination of the estate tax will come <br />up again while President Clinton is <br />still in office. <br /> <br />* He believes if the nation goes to a <br />flat tax or a national sales tax instead <br />of income tax, it will be vital to get rid <br />of the 16th Amendment, which <br />created income tax, or in the future <br />there might be two taxing systems in <br />place. <br /> <br />http://www.chieftain.comlwednesday/nlO.htm <br /> <br />ral:;~~U.l'} <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MOVIEQUESY'" <br /> <br />ai) <br />.. <br />TVQUEST <br /> <br /> <br />~'m'~wu~( <br />111 ti;ll:m;;flon <br /> <br />Advertise... <br />...on the Internet!
