Klein, cuts can do it, they just need to be deep enough. I would love to see the President and Congress be serious about doing their jobs rather than being reelected. Tax increases (read as the gov't taking more of my money by force) only makes the problem worse. bbsam was right on the money when he said that congress people want the money flowing through their districts.
If the gov't won't spend my money carefully now, why would they if they have more of it to spend. Why wont the gov't run the nation like we run our houses? Take care of the bills you have due, if you don't have enough, cut back. If there's a surplus, go ahead and do something nice once in a while, but make sure you have some in reserve for a rainy day. I can't say to UPS, "hey, I want to drive a Lamborghini, I know my Ford will do, but my constituents (family) deserve more. Therefore, you now MUST UNDER THREAT OF JAIL AND PROPERTY SEIZURE, pay me more." That is exactly what a tax increase is.
