The debt is a result of decreased revenue from a

When Greenspan suggested a tax cut, back during the Clinton years, it was

If you're going to use Greenspan's remarks to validate your argument, then

that are in dispute at this particular stage"

He does *not* favor raising taxes to lower the budget deficit. Instead, he
promotes tightened spending.
