While raising taxes and cutting spending can solve our debt problem, a better approach is to foster faster growth! If an increase of 1% in the economy’s growth rate were maintained over the next decade, the debt-to-GDP-ratio in 2023 would be reduced by 17 percentage points and our fiscal problems would be largely solved. And, tax reform via lowering rates and broadening the tax base is how to do it.
