Democrats weigh taxes or lottery to fix federal debt
Democrats face a debt of over 200 million to the federal government by year end. Avenson and colleagues discuss options including a 0.5 percent payroll tax, an income tax surtax, or a voluntary lottery that could raise up to 45 million annually, with the lottery seen as permanent but slower to balance the fund. The party plans a decision next week and could bring the measure to the floor soon. Separately, MIA researchers claim group meditation lowered crime, a claim debated by Reagh citing mixed evidence from the Uniform Crime Reporting System across 223 agencies and 97 percent of large Iowa cities.
