"You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end –
which you can never afford to Lose – with the discipline to confront
the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."

The Debt Crisis Is Coming Soon
To avoid economic distress, the government has to reduce future entitlement spending.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the deficit this year will be $900 billion, more than 4% of gross domestic product. It will surpass $1 trillion in 2022. The federal debt is now 78% of GDP. By 2028, it is projected to be nearly 100% of GDP and still rising. All this will have very serious economic consequences, and the CBO understates the problem. It has to base its projections on current law—in this case, the levels of spending and the future tax rules and rates that appear in law today.
........................................................
Lawmakers don’t like to cut spending, but they have to do something. Otherwise the exploding national debt will be an increasing burden on our children, economic growth and our future standard of living.
Mr. Feldstein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Reagan, is a professor at Harvard.

Bernie Sanders and Venezuela

The candidate understands that he needs to find a way to spin Marxist central planning as voter-friendly. Mr. Sanders tells National Public Radio in an interview broadcast this week:
Mr. Freeman is the co-author of “Borrowed Time,” now available from HarperBusiness.
I think what we have to do, and I will be doing it, is to do a better job maybe in explaining what we mean by socialism — democratic socialism. Obviously, my right-wing colleagues here want to paint that as authoritarianism and communism and Venezuela, and that’s nonsense..................................................................
Among the more disturbing cases is that of 24-year-old university student Jesus Soriano. Mr. Soriano was illegally detained by Venezuela’s secret police, known by its Spanish initials Disip, and badly beaten. He appeared on Venezuelan television late last week, his face disfigured, barely able to speak.Whether Mr. Sanders wants to call the humanitarian disaster he encouraged in Venezuela socialism or “democratic” socialism, the press should not allow him to escape accountability.
Mr. Freeman is the co-author of “Borrowed Time,” now available from HarperBusiness.
