It's called fiscal responsibility, and it involves cutting spending, not looking for ways to tax people. Deficit spending is acceptable during crisis times like we are now in, but is unsustainable when done year after year as has become the new norm.

Here is a novel idea. Once COVID-19 is behind us and the economy normalizes how about getting back to the good old days when the government had enough money to provide the services necessary for the common good. The low tax mania since Reagan is responsible for the decline of public health services that we needed in this crisis, the condition of infrastructure and the list goes on. For the common good, for a solid economy, and a decent society individuals and corporations in America have to pay more taxes. The problem is revenue, not spending.
