lays it all out there. Mr. Dowley is partner in the Washington office of McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP and was chief counsel of the House Ways and Means Committee when Congress last addressed tax reform. His basic message is very similar to what has previously been expressed by this blog and serves as a warning for politicians and citizens alike that we simply cannot maintain the status quo on issues such as entitlements, debt and energy as a few examples.
The new president’s fireside chat will have to be for adult consumption: honest, candid and factual, and it must call upon the best instincts of all us to be willing to share the coming sacrifices for the good of everyone. It should be the moral equivalent of an oral dose of cod liver oil, but it must also leave viewers and listeners some hope that we are really getting our house in order. The new president will have to reach out to strike a chord with citizens such that people will say, “That needed to be said a long time ago. Let’s get on with it!”
