Brad Gerstner
Gerstner argues federal budget can balance in four years with modest 5-5-2% spending cuts and 3-4% revenue growth.

“Now you get there by simply reducing the size of government by about 3% a year for the next four years. Again, just still going from 5,000,000,000,000 in 2019 to 6,000,000,000,000 in 2029.”
