You're refusing to get the point.
We all know the current revenues aren't doing the trick.
I set up a thought experiment where I applied the large revenues of a time when unemployment WAS less than 5 percent - the year 2007 - to the current spending levels. Result, still almost a trillion in deficits.
Think about it. In constant dollars, the revenues for the year 2007 were the highest in this country's history. Over $100 billion more than the revenues of the year 2000, when our budget had a $270 billion surplus.
It still isn't enough to make up for what we're spending.
