I agree we should raise taxes. But the last time we did that to solve our debt problem was WWII. The debt problem is worse now, and we also don’t have a world war to help politicians push the legislation through. In addition, since the dollar is untethered, they can simply print and kick the can. So the obvious first step to me is to tether the dollar to something that cannot be printed.
