Hawk, I don't have contacts in "high places" in Israel. It seems my contacts are better here, since at least two "concepts" I first suggested here on SI were taken on, the first was an immediate tax refunds of $1000 or so to each tax payer (the took $600 only), and then a reduction in payroll taxes of 1% 9which they seems to want to adopt but just as one month "holiday" all over the board. Unfortunately, they did not take the "full" concept in either case. The $1000 rebate was to be an annual event depending on the size of the budget surplus (based on my "theory" that surpluses lead inevitably to economic contractions) projected, that was preferred in my opinion to drastic reduction in debt (I had $50 to $100 B as "acceptable" surpluses and the balance to be paid back).
