The only approach is to starve the beast by cutting spending, not to gorge it with revenues even if those revenues come from growth. Congress will spend every penny the taxpayer sends it and then some.

I really have never understood where that misunderstanding comes from . . . you could, theoretically, reduce the growth of our debt by making more things, while freezing spending at current levels.

But that is never the intent of the person who makes the comment that we need to make more things. Because they always leave the most important part out.
