If the Federal tax laws were reformed to the Flat Tax Rate, with no deductions save members of household, (and I will give up my mortgage interest deduction), the shiny, new revenue could be spent creating jobs dedicated to the country’s infrastructure. Money in, money out like a tide: with jobs created in her wake. Chances this will happen, I am told by Washington bloggers (The Young Realists), zilch. OK. Then the chances that this country will recover from the 2008-2009 economic implosion is a ditto.
