I think he should repeat it. It just might be true. A safety het catches those who have tried and slipped. The programs we have go far beyond being merely a safety net. Many of these programs give money to people who are not in need, disincentivize people, and enable others. These programs need to be smaller.I agree we need to change the tax system. As long as we argue over whether it should be progressive or regressive it will never be a good system for the simple reason that neither progressive nor regressive systems are good. We need a system that taxes justly, with relevance, and to the least degree that it must.And the debt could go away by merely cutting. I suspect it will take some tax increases* but it could go away by merely cutting. What will not happen is the debt will never go away with a combination of no cuts and increases.*talking about increases ruins the stew before it is even made. We need to talk about increasing revenue first and only then see if the way to do that is to increase taxes.But if we had never incurred this much debt to begin with we would not even need to be talking about these desperate needs. Who else thinks it just might be that politicians allowed a desperate situation to develop because that is the only way their solutions would even be considered by regular Americans?
