That would be irresistible, right?Well, I’ve got exactly that. I’m working up testimony on this for the Senate next week but the solution is so damn compelling—and the sequestration deadline only hours away—it would be downright unpatriotic to keep it to myself a second longer.So, are you ready?It’s tax expenditures!Wait a minute…where’re you going?
