That is not what the prominent democrats are saying on the sunday
talking head shows. There are a lot of people who should know better,
saying all we need to do is to raise taxes on the $250k and above
people to make us whole. That is total bull****.
If we removed all of the Bush tax cuts on everyone, it would only be a
third of the problem.

You really believe that they're saying "all we need to do"?? Please
cite something.

I suppose you don't watch the Sunday talk shows. I suppose I could
google something up for you but I get criticized for that too.

Sorry no. I suppose there must be someone who once said that's "all we
need to do." But, reality is a bit more complicated.

If we removed all of the tax cuts on those who make more than $250K,
that would go a long way toward solving the problem. Or, we could just
throw people out on the street.

That is $70 billion a year. The deficit is $1.5 billion. Do the math.

I think you mean $1.5 trillion? $70B is a good start. Do you suppose
that's all that can be done? How about the $1T or so we spend on the
military? Perhaps we can cut that down a bit.. couple of 100 billion
perhaps?
