It seems like we agree far, far more than we disagree.

All I meant by a high burn is that we are net negative more than a trillion dollars per year. I believe we probably need more taxes and less spending to solve it (or just a lot of growth).

Yes, we should just spend less on healthcare. We have a broken system right now.

I agree that social security has a real problem with the income cap. I also don't think I said anything about raising the eligibility ages.

I also agree that discretionary spending is eseentially irrelevant, and entitlement and defense spending is the issue. I believe I said this too.
