MSNBC news programs: on Budget & Economy


Pat Buchanan: Pay down debt; reduce federal share of economy

We'd reduce taxes and change the tax code. First off, I do believe you keep paying down the debt. We ought to do that. We owe that to the next generation. Secondly, put more taxes on transnational corporations, take them off small business. The federal government now spends 22% of the entire economy-that's more than we did during the Cold War, and we've got to cut that down, and we would do it.
