This is the best time to raise taxes specially because the business cycle allows it. Guess what would help reduce inflation...raising taxes.
I.e. have a Fed-like entity that gives Congress a max in spending for the current tax policy, and Congress is required by law to stay below that number
Fixing US debt has always been politically unpopular, and it always will be.
Unfortunately the U.S. constitution was written with the, in hindsight, naive assumption that political parties could be avoided.
This just led to a system that has political parties but doesn’t really acknowledge their existence and therefore makes it difficult to regulate their behavior.
