Agreed, but with a caveat: If we aggressively grow industry and business by reducing taxes and improving the business environment by reducing bureaucratic overhead (as Trump has done) that will make it possible.

But it won’t be possible if we don’t reduce spending.

I don’t believe we have or will have a revenue problem if we let the industrial environment continue to improve, but if we don’t reduce spending, it won’t work. (We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem)

No, the trick is to get all sides to agree on holding spending at 2018 levels for 20 years or more. There is no political will to cut spending but who could be against spending the same amount every year?
