Fundamental tax reform must strengthen incentives, reduce distorting tax expenditures, and raise revenue.

Eliminating or reducing these tax expenditures should therefore be seen as cutting government spending.

So the key to raising revenue is to reduce tax expenditures, use some of the resulting revenue to reduce tax rates, and devote the rest to reducing future deficits.

But slowing the growth of Social Security benefits and capping total tax expenditures would be a good framework for the coming reform.

These features are rightly called tax expenditures, because they describe the government spending that occurs through the tax code.

So here is an idea that might work politically Let taxpayers keep all of the current tax expenditures, but limit the total amount by which each taxpayer can reduce his or her tax liability in this way.

But a gradual phase in of an overall cap on tax deductions and exclusions (so called tax expenditures), combined with reform of entitlement spending, could achieve the long run fiscal consolidation that America needs without risking a new recession.

A cap on the tax reductions derived from tax expenditures that is equal to 2 of each individual s adjusted gross income would raise more than 200 billion in 2013 if applied to all of the current deductions and to the exclusions for municipal bond interest and employer paid health insurance.

Applying a 2 of AGI cap to the total benefit that an individual can receive from tax expenditures would have a very powerful effect.

By 2009, the US budget deficit had climbed to more than 10 of GDP, thanks to increased expenditures and plummeting tax revenues during the recession.

Fixing America s fiscal problem will be as difficult as it is important.

A well designed combination of caps to limit tax expenditures and a gradual slowing of growth in outlays for entitlement programs could reverse the rise in the debt and strengthen the US economy.
