Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, all, for being here today.

I do want to pursue a number of different angles.

Some say that nominal GDP is the best indicator of the broadest measure of the government's tax base. You have indicated that your assessment of nominal GDP exceeds the forecast of private sector economists in the next couple of years, but then beyond 2016 it is below. Could you explain that and the reasons why?
