Oren, you are doing great work with Understanding America, Commonplace, and American Compass. Thank you.

Your Tax Trainwreck article and ones like it earlier do a great job of identifying the problem. However, if you have proposed a specific solution, I have missed it.

I was wondering if you ever communicate with Ray Dalio regarding his recent 3%, 3 Part solution. If I understand it correctly, he recommends cutting the budget deficit to 3% of GDP via a 4% cut in spending, a 4% increase in taxes, and a 1% cut in real interest rates.

It seems to me that combining your economic credibility and the influence you have over some very important politicians combined with Ray Dalio's economic/finance brilliance, could achieve true greatness for America.

You two may not be aligned on everything, but you two would simply have to come together in the same manner you say that the politicians do to get the main thing done. You two are both clearly focused on this subject.
