And so the way you would deal with this
would be to crater the global economy, thus pushing receipts even lower than what your graph shows happened in 2008-9?
Good idea. Glad to see we have such thoughtful people in our country.
There is plenty of GOP leverage with the sequester and continuing resolution, neither of which will tank our credit rating and threaten the foundation of the global financial system; although how they are handled could cause a brief recession. That would be stupid too but not as stupid as deliberately cratering the entire global economy.
