Economic growth through tax reform, would that make sense, lowering the rate and broadening the base?
We have to address it. And if we do not, we will face consequences you talked earlier, including the possibility of a fiscal crisis.

The deficit and debt projection over the next 10 years is worse not better, adding another $10 trillion to the debt.
We are heading toward record high tax revenues over the decade, nearly record low discretionary spending.
I would tell you there are millions of Americans not benefitting, historic levels of long-term unemployment.
I worry that the Federal Reserve is trying to use its monetary policy hammer, in effect, to solve a problem that is really not a monetary problem.
