Can also trade away techs and maps for cash, but that is a short term solution.

Finally you could try switching to Democracy. Also check your planetary governors, if any.

You just have to slow down your expansion some in DW. Give the colonies time to develop some. Build a couple resort bases close to other empires. Those are big money makers.

I have. Built too many DDs. Took a bit to get back in the black.

Once built the mines are owned by the Civilian Sector.

Worst tip there is. (Edit: unless, maybe, you are still in the original Distant Worlds, I do not know about the mechanics there.) New colonies offer no revenue, whether you tax them or not. 50 % of insignificantly little are still insignificant.

Raising taxes on new colonies will accomplish one thing: they stop growing. So they will stay insignificant for much, much longer.

Yep, but they still have to be maintained and they put unnecessary strain on private sector, esp if you have all the resources you need.
