I agree with you, Coach. But it's going to have to be more than just "some cost cutting". It'll have to be huge spending cuts, cuts that will effect, hurt in fact, each and every one of us. That goes for increased taxes too. We won't skate by without having to open our pocketbooks. More than just the rich too.
