I hate to be contrary again, but "no more cuts!"? Really? We're
something like 7 trillion in debt, and we are spending more than we
have coming in. We have to cut spending. Not cutting spending is
not an option. The 1% could give all their worldly possessions to
the government and we'd still be in debt, and then what do you do
about it next year?<br>
<br>
I think we'll probably have to raise taxes across the board, but the
biggest thing we have to do is stop throwing around money like it
grew on trees. Cut those defense budgets, and cut some of the
entitlement programs and safety nets. Basically, cut everything,
but focus more where there is the most bang for the buck.<br>
<br>
The big fat cigar smoking backroom-dealing banker meme represents a
problem that we need to solve, but first we need to put out the fire
before we start replacing the wiring or upgrading the smoke alarms.<br>
