The economy is in the doldrums because nearly everyone is paying today for the bills they ran up over the past decades - and further dampened by the prospect of society as a whole having to pay the debt accumulated by the fed to pay for today.
Cut government by a fraction of what I’m calling for and this deficit will disappear, melting like butter on a hot stove.
THE issue is the $4 trillion size of the mostly unconstitutional federal government. Make the unconstitutional portion, or even a significant fraction thereof, go away and no one will be talking about a deficit problem.
