What I’m saying is, in order to shrink the size of government you can either 1) cut spending, or 2) cut its revenues. No one has had much success limiting its spending. If you limit its revenue, then you automatically limit its size. Oh, they can print money, and keep spending money they don’t have, but eventually the markets will stop that, just like they did in Greece.
So your economic plan is for the US to default? Get real. You can't "starve the beast." The only way to reduce the size of government is to CUT government. Period.
