@wycats What@ryanflorence tweeted. Fed take has never exceeded 21% of GDP. That's an observed upper bound, not my recommendation.@mjasay -
@BrendanEich upper bound in current tax system (VAT, carbon tax may raise more). Reduce outlays by when? I@ryanflorence@mjasay -
@wycats Now you're changing your argument. Magical future arguments aren't worth 120 chars. Good luck squeezing blood!@ryanflorence@mjasay -
@BrendanEich not changing my argument. Agree on 21%. Reduce outlays to 21% by when?@ryanflorence@mjasay -

@BrendanEich cutting defense in that time seems doable. Unsure about medical. Expect state tax++ as burden shifts.@ryanflorence@mjasay - 1 more reply
