America’s debt has increased by almost 50% in the last four years under President Barack Obama.
No major nation in history has been able to sustain its way of life long term with a debt in excess of its
GDP.
3. America’s New Way Forward (ANWF) – The Solution
This Solution BALANCES THE FEDERAL BUDGET in 2017
Repeals ObamaCare
Makes the Bush tax cuts or their equivalent
permanent
Calls for $1.364 trillion in spending reductions
cumulative over five years
Calls for $368 billion in tax cut offsets from
subsidies, tax loopholes, or additional spending
reductions over five years
4. America’s New Way Forward (ANWF) – The Solution
This Solution REPAYS THE FEDERAL DEBT by 2041
Continues the spending and tax reductions
implemented during the first five years
Provides for annual Federal spending growth of
2.5% after 2017
Assumes GDP growth rate of 3.5% after 2022
Completes the dream of leaving the next generation
DEBT FREE and THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD TO
LIVE.
5. America’s New Way Forward (ANWF) – The Solution
This Solution STRENGTHENS SOCIAL
SECURITY, MEDICARE, & DEFENSE
Social Security: The Federal Government has taken $2.6
trillion of reserves out of the Social Security Trust Fund and
left nothing but an “I Owe You”. Since the Federal
Government is now approaching insolvency, like Greece, this
leaves the Social Security program in CRISIS. Once the Budget
is Balanced the Federal Government can start to repay the
debt to the Trust Fund.
Medicare: This plan provides for Medicare savings. Medicare
benefits for seniors are maintained while program costs are
lowered.
Defense: Defending America is the number one priority of the
Federal Government. This plan ensures America continues to
have the best military in the world.

11. America’s New Way Forward (ANWF)
Pay Off the Federal Debt
Paying Off the Federal Debt by 2041 – The Details :
America’s total debt crossed the $3 trillion number in 1990. Over the
course of the last 20 years, less than one generation, we have run that
number up over $16 trillion. Over $4 trillion was added in the last four
years alone under President Obama’s leadership. The debt was $10.6
trillion on the day he took office and his plans will take it to $27.6 trillion in
2021.
America’s New Way Forward repays the national debt over the course of
the next 30 years. America must Balance It’s Budget and then start down
this path of repaying the national debt now. It will get easier to repay the
national debt as time moves along :
• The interest payments are continually reduced.
• The economy will be stronger which further enhances revenues.
• The stronger economy will produce more private sector jobs.
The correct LEADERSHIP AND POLITICAL WILL POWER are the only things
preventing repaying most or all of the debt. Former Congressman Mark
Neumann was part of the team that Balanced the Budget in the 1990’s. He
demonstrated then that he has the will power and he will lead America’s
New Way Forward as a US Senator. He has BEEN THERE – DONE THAT
ALREADY as a US Congressman !!
