| | Taxpayers are entitled to see exactly where their money is being spent and how much Uncle Sam borrows each year. Under this legislation that I have filed this week, every taxpayer who files an income tax return would receive an itemized receipt – similar to a grocery store receipt – from the IRS that lists where their payroll and income taxes are spent. The receipt would include key categories such as the interest on the national debt, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, national defense, education, veterans’ benefits, environmental protection, foreign aid – and, last but not least, Congress. Taxpayers also would be directed to a website where they could get more detailed information on programs not included on the one-page receipt. Additionally, the receipt would provide taxpayers with the amount of debt per American – which currently is more than $45,000 - and how much new borrowing we put on the national credit card in the past year. During this tough economy, American taxpayers deserve to know exactly how the government is spending their hard-earned dollars. That kind of transparency is the first step towards addressing our exploding debt and deficits. What do you think?
