However, there is no denying that $7 trillion of the debt is not his. Even Gregory Mankiw, conservative economist and Bush's former economic adviser, concurs with that.<br /><br />We need to pay down $12 trillion in debt. 12 trillion. I am all for low tax rates (83 and 92 levels are good targets). But there is no way to pay down that debt without spending cuts, entitlement reform, and tax increases.<br /><br />Some libertarian populists will balk, but I'll go with David Walker and the Concord Coalition on this one. Half to go with the government accountants and conservative economists on this one.<br /><br />Pay down the 12 trillion, reform SS and Medicare, starting at fifty years out, and then reform the tax code, shooting for a simplified version of '83 and '92.<br /><br />That's how I vote.mmazenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602797515366983639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-47073043479854712792010-01-29T12:21:40.071-08:002010-01-29T12:21:40.071-08:00My thoughts:
