I disagree.
America has 17.5 trillion now in debt, and that is constantly increasing.
We need to make things right here.
Producers are evil. The IRS says so, and they are honest public servants, so I believe them. Best to keep all tbat nasty “making stuff” in China where our elites don’t have to look at it. :)
And BTW since you mention it, the biggest problem with government spending is by far the amount being spent, not the deficit. You must cut off at least 80% of the $4 trillion budget and cut taxes to a low flat tax - 10%-15%. Shrink the size of government. Big government is our greatest threat and defeating it our greatest challenge.
The other thing that must happen is to try to elect the right people but more importantly, make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing - (Milton Friedman).
Do these things and the deficit will not be much of an issue. But if you only focus on the government deficit, you haven't' attacked the root cause and may unwittingly give excuse for raising taxes.
