Funny how you deflected and didn't answer to Carson's obvious lack of knowledge on the subject.

Having said that, there's nothing in your link that shows Carson has an "obvious lack of knowledge" on the economy. In fact, the author even notes that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) AGREES with Carson that the federal budget could be balanced in short shrift (2 years according to the CBO, even faster than the "3 to 4 years" suggested by Carson) if we merely freeze spending at its current nominal level.
And Carson is obviously correct when he says a balanced budget would eliminate the need to keep raising the debt limit. If I spend no more than I take in, there's no need for me to keep borrowing. Anyone can understand that. The WaPo author is the only dunce who doesn't get it.
Funny how the sewer rat starts threads without even reading his own link (let alone commenting on it). If he did, he might figure out it doesn't support his subject line.
