Currency Usage Tax (CUT)
The Federal Debt is Destroying America’s Future
  • $106.6 trillion in unfunded liabilities, $38.6 trillion in federal debt, and annual deficits exceeding $2 trillion are unsustainable.
  • In 2023, the interest on the federal debt exceeded $1 trillion for the first time, creating a dangerous new fiscal reality.
  • Rising debt and interest costs crowd out essential government functions, reducing the nation’s ability to invest in infrastructure, national security, healthcare, and economic growth.
  • Excessive federal debt weakens America’s economy, increasing costs for families and small businesses.
  • Future generations are being burdened with obligations they did not create, limiting opportunity and economic mobility.
A Sustainable Path to Restoring Growth and Economic Stability
  • My Currency Usage Tax (CUT) is a predictable, 1% flat transaction tax designed to eliminate chronic deficit spending by providing stable and consistent federal revenue.
  • By taxing transactions rather than income, CUT removes distortions that suppress economic growth while improving transparency and accountability in the tax system.
  • CUT significantly increases state and federal revenue, allowing for the elimination of more than 200 state and federal taxes and fees that currently burden workers and businesses.
  • CUT revenue can retire the $38+ trillion federal debt in under five years, while allowing workers and businesses to keep 99% of what they earn.
  • CUT enables families to save and invest in their futures, while businesses can lower prices, hire more workers, and pay better wages.
America’s Welfare and Entitlement Systems Are Unsustainable
  • In 2023, every federal tax dollar collected was consumed by welfare programs, entitlement spending, and interest on the national debt, leaving no room for investment or long-term growth.
  • The federal government operates more than 100 welfare programs, and when state and local programs are included, that number jumps to more than 600
  • Approximately 178.5 million Americans, about 55% of the population, receive benefits from welfare or entitlement programs, reflecting the enormous scale of dependency in today’s economy.
  • Since 1935, the United States has spent more than $40 trillion on welfare programs, yet the federal poverty rate has never fallen below 11%, raising serious questions about effectiveness.
  • Decades of welfare policy have failed to deliver lasting economic mobility in many minority communities, despite enormous spending intended to address poverty.
A Sustainable Alternative to Restore Dignity, Stability, and Opportunity
  • The United States Citizen Fund replaces fragmented welfare programs with a single, transparent system, eliminating duplication, bureaucracy, and administrative waste while ensuring help reaches those who need it most
  • USCF restores dignity and personal responsibility by providing direct, predictable support to citizens without trapping families in complex eligibility rules or long-term dependency
  • By consolidating more than hundreds of overlapping programs into one unified framework, USCF dramatically reduces government overhead and improves accountability to taxpayers
  • USCF aligns assistance with economic participation, encouraging work, savings, and upward mobility rather than penalizing individuals for earning more or improving their circumstances
  • A stable, citizen-focused support system strengthens families and communities, creating a sustainable path out of poverty while protecting future generations from unchecked entitlement growth

The Risks of Unaffordable Healthcare
  • In 2024, the U.S. spent $4.2 trillion on healthcare, compared to $4.1 trillion for all other nations, according to the World Health Organization.
  • Rising healthcare costs make doctor visits, dental care, and prescription medications unaffordable even for insured families.

Border Chaos and Community Strain
