The guy who created the video did not intend it to be a

easy answers but should get us all thinking.

Raising taxes is not a slam dunk solution either, not with the economy
in the doldrums. The time for that came and went. The one sure way
to create another great depression is to suddenly cut back on
government spending and raise taxes.

It was a most enlightening vid. But, I expect the liberals will continue to believe, or at least
pretend to believe, that simply taxing the rich more would solve all our problems.

We need to get people out of this political mind set. The budget
deficit and it's related issues are not going to be solved with
simplistic political sloganeering.

It is going to be solved by the simplistic stopping of spending.
