A few modest proposals

• If a company wants a bulk mail permit to send out "junk mail," it should have to certify that it's using 100% post-consumer recycled paper. This should increase the amount of recycled paper being used, and/or reduce the amount of junk mail.
  
  
• If you loan the government money during the year via Payroll Withholding, and then get a refund when you file your taxes, the government should then pay you some interest on that loan.
