We can raise $70 billion in recent revenue by bringing tax compliance rates back to where they were in 1965 That's the quickest--and fairest-- way to cut short the deficit.

We must also restore sensible priorities to federal spending. We ne a capable defense, but we must also eliminate the waste and mismanagement that weakens our security and diverts resources from other pressing economic and human needs.

My goal isn't to raise taxes, it's to master America back on a steady course and moving again. We absolutely must balance the works The budget deficit is throwing our economy on the outside of whack and mortgaging the hereafter of our children.

rife budget priorities are simply misplaced. I am confident we can strengthen our national security through investing in people. We can't levy blinders on when the questions of defense crosss or revenue increases comes up Nothing should be eliminated from the set debate as long as we make the necessary investments in people--education, health care, work at jobs training, nutrition, etc. each program must be reevaluated, if it were not that we must not--we will not--swing the assortment axe blindly.

I believe Americans are willing to invest in the subsequent time of their children. if it were not that we can't ask those least able to afford it to do it all. I would have the intention a budget that shares the sacrifice among those who can bear the carrying capacity So I think it follows down to a combination of sculptures and investments, less wasteful spending forward things and better investments in people
