U.S. GDP $14T
U.S. Gov budget $3.5T (25% of GDP)
U.S. Gov deficit $1.43 T (12.3% of GDP)
To balance the budget, considering the coming entitlement wave and the government consuming 25% of GDP, we either can take everybody's money in taxes or we can grow the GDP.
Building bridges ain't going to cause a 5+% rise in GDP baby.
