I used to subscribe to that view back then - and then I learned to think for myself. The Laffer curve is a non-negotiable fact of economics.
I don't consider your prediction reliable, especially since it's far more the Democrats' attachment to entitlement programs that put us into the debt spiral than the - admittedly obnoxious - defense bloat. And I give the GOP credit for at least theoretical realism about debt, deficit, and dollar collapse. The Dems - and the AOC malady spreads far beyond just her - have just no clue.
