  • @muirgeo Yep. The CBO projects that revenue will get back to its historical average (about 18.4 percent of GDP) within a decade. Currently, revenue is at 14.8 percent of GDP.

  • Historically, tax revenues tend to stick around 18% of GDP.

  • At 1:56 Revenue appears to be at 20% of GDP. Really???

  • Very good information!
