I am in argument on another forum and I wanted to bring up some information from Tom Wood's book Rollback. He cites CBO saying that payroll taxes need to increase by 350% in order to cover the debt. Well his citation is an ibid. I tried looking at previous citation but it has nothing to do with CBO and I have the book he cites.

I have kindle version so I can give you the page but it is citation #24 in chapter "The Crisis".

If anyone can help I greatly apreciate it.

I am kinda hesitant to do it I thought the question was simple and to bother him with that would seem a waste of his time. I'm going to wait one more day to see if anyone else familiar with Rollback sees this but otherwise I will do that.

I could understand that, but I don't think he would mind.  He's good about responding and I think he would be happy to offer insight into an inquiry on his own work.  (Obviously I think it's always nice to see people not only looking at it so closely but actually seeking out answers regarding it.)
