It's easy to target the military but that is the last thing to cut, our bipartisan foreign policy since ww2 shows that, I think.

32% for one year. But I don't think we'll do it every year.
Whatever. We can argue the stimulus. But it's done. We can't use that as a solution now and it's not what got us into this mess. Moving forward we have the same expenses year in and year out. And you demonstrate my point. No on wants to cut anything. So we have to raise taxes. Simple as that. There's no two ways about it.
When Ronald Regan told people they didn't have to pay taxes (I know, that's not what he said. But that's what people heard) and showed Republicans that it was a message that would get them elected he began killing America. When it's all over and we work for the Chinese we can look back and say Ronald Regan did it.
