If you read my other thread on the deficit problem, you will find that this problem is huge and what you suggest is pocket change. Plus cutting spending is going to be a political nightmare.

I will not even, out of respect for those of you who think the new health care law is paid for, even mention that.

Everyone has got to pay more taxes....I suggest you read some articles on how deep in the doo doo we really are...how much money we are spending that we do not have. I am trying real hard not to be political and this didnt just happen in the last 3 years, but this is a HUGE problem.

We go over that cliff in December and hang on......recession time...in a big way with lots of pain to get out,
