Do you see any other tree to bark up?
Raising taxes is such a pair of dirty words neither party will say it
and you have so many people on Plume's denial that nobody really even
cares. S&P tried to warn us that these bonds may be in peril and they
got shouted down. The next warning will come from the auction when
people start passing on the first couple of rounds and those interest
rates start rising. I think this could be one of those "tipping point"
things. The worse it gets, the worse it will get.

I'm going from barking to climbing.
There will 2 trees to climb when the flood waters come.
The tax tree and the reduced spending tree.
It's obvious.
Some trees are loaded up with people and offer no refuge.
The SS tree and the Medicare tree.
Those are essential to a working society.
The tax tree will probably sprout automatically when the Bush tax cuts
REALLY expire. Thats what, $4T over 10 years?
Beats by far any Dem or Rep proposal.
You cut Medicare spending by reining in costs.
That's fraud and overpayment to the already socialized medical industry.
I've seen statistics that 60% of all medical costs are government paid.
So the gov has clout if they have the balls to use it.
No need to reduce medical care for seniors, but give the socialized
medical industry a haircut.
It's a tough one, but doable, especially if the money runs out.
If the health care bill isn't repealed there will be a natural
transition to a European model of health care, which will be more
competitive than the current U.S. system and lower costs.
You get rid of all the socialist subsidies to all industries except new
energy technologies.
Cut defense spending.
It's important that the current political gridlock continues.
Otherwise the Dems won't raise taxes enough with that stupid $250k
income limit, or the Reps will cut taxes even more and totally bury us
as they did pre-Obama.
I want them fighting so much they can't make a deal on extending the tax
cuts. Right there is $4T.
The best example of pure stupidity I've ever seen is extending those
Bush tax cuts.
Then they all whine about debt.
Never saw so many morons in one place as in DC.
Cocksuckers.
