Mr. Wolf, ‘taming the nation’s debt’ is 100% dependent on cutting spending...in a massive way. The tax code should be cleaned up, but Norquist is not preventing that. He is preventing the typical cop out of Washington that raising rates is a solution to over-spending.
Cut spending, and significantly. That is why we sent you there in the first place.
Cut spending. I don’t think there is a single Congresscritter in Washington who wants to actually CUT spending. Everyone of them proposes a reduction in the growth of spending but no actual cuts. The way they keep score in DC, if they passed a budget this year that was identical to last year’s it would be scored as a $900 Billion cut. Even keeping score like that they can’t actually cut anything. Screw Wallstreet; we need to occupy Washington.
