    the Pawlenty plan will run huge deficits just like all his predecessors. The only way we can get to 5% growth (or near it) is for massive innovation, which is not something the government can control (through tax or any other policy). Also, his tax plan has the opposite effect of the current one where 1/2 of Americans pay no income tax, under Pawlenty’s plan it is likely that the wealthiest Americans would never pay any tax (no dividend or cap gain taxes), thus, the rest of us will have to pick up that slack in the tax department.
