Then we might not have the funds to build tanks the military no longer uses!

I'd create a one child per family rule. Thanks to automation we're just not going to have enough jobs for everyone, and again thanks to automation we no longer need a huge population to man the military forces. Basically there's no good cause for a first world nation to have a population as high as America has.

Pretty much this but I'd cap it at two children per family maximum instead of just one; reason being for this is having a brother/sister in life is awesome and has many benefits.

For the U.S., Congress pays no taxes on their income working for Congress, but they get taxed 100% for every dollar they make after what they get payed working in Congress. No loopholes, so if a congressman gets paid $150,000 a year, then they can only make $150,000 a year, period. Every penny they make after that goes back to the IRS. People shouldn't become multi-millionaires while working in congress.

I would cap the salaries of congress at $75k a year, period (and term limits). If you're working for the public sector and "representing" the people, then you shouldn't be living a hugely luxurious lifestyle. Seriously, you're entire loving job is writing laws & imposing them on the public, most of which are attached with pork filled bullshit.
