I'd be interested in the thresholds for the three percentages. I'd like to see a flat tax but three percentages and eliminating deductions is a start. Raising the age for Social Security full eligibility isn't a big deal and probably makes sense anyway with longer life expectancy. There's room to cut excesses in military spending just as there's room to cut other entitlement programs.
