I’d agree with them—and in combination with entitlement reforms. Taxes alone aren’t going to be enough.

as for ‘entitlement reform’ i don’t know about medicare or whatever else you might have in mind, but as far as social security is concerned, it’s clear that its problems can easily be taken care of by raising the cap of $106,500 on the amount of income that is subject to ss tax

the social security trustees have calculated that the shortfall in social security revenues for the next 75 years - the ‘unfunded liability’ - amounts to about $5.6 trillion

75 years is a long time…
