Otherwise, we've been over that. And this chart shows CBO's current baseline, which is based on 1.8% growth, which I think people might. Hopefully we do better than that. But At 1.8% growth, we never really go below 6% [deficit as a percentage of GDP]. Even if you grow 3%, you're still not getting down to a 3% level of GDP. You literally have to have 4% growth over the next decade for us to dip below 3% in the last three years of this decade. (03:47–03:52)
