- The government must raise funds through taxation or
borrowing in order to spend. In other words, government
spending is limited by its ability to tax or borrow. - With government deficits, we are leaving our debt burden
to our children. - Government budget deficits take away savings.
- Social Security is broken.
- The trade deficit is an unsustainable imbalance that takes
away jobs and output. - We need savings to provide the funds for investment.

taxes tomorrow.
