    Yes, but far more important is drastically cutting spending.
    I can see you're still laboring under the delusion that the US taxpayer can somehow be spared the cost of correcting fiscal and economic imbalances that built up for 30 years.

    It's an effective pose electorally, to be sure. But it's not realistic.

    deficit vs jobs.

    Sure looks like DC is gonna the people wanting jobs (jobs which also keep tax revenues down and deficit up), but DC won't dent the deficit.

    Repugs already saying their $100B of cuts in discretionary spending was "hypothetical".

    Do you see any way of raising taxes effectively but still doable to the individual? It won't put a dent into things Drastic measures like eliminating social security, slicing welfare programs down, reduce foreign aid and cutting govt. jobs are needed.

    The aid to Israel with their actions is ridiculous



    Higher taxes are just going to get put right back into programs.


    The govt money that gets pissed away around here is unbelievable. New govt. houses that fixtures get ripped out and pawned bc they'll just bring a new one.

    And your going to raise taxes enough to continue to pay for things like that?


    And where is the "taxpayer spared" by slicing govt funding? The taxpayer is that has been paying for alot of the things that they don't benefit from in the first place. Same pay but reduced benefits is being spared?

    This is actually a good point. Cutting benefits is intrinsically painful. Socially speaking.

    Officially, I'm not allowed to care about the worthless layabouts deprived of public largesse you're calling us to pity here, but that host doubtless includes many worthy and otherwise respectable US taxpayers too.
