Higher taxes is highly likely if you look at the congress financial

Well... it doesn't say it all, but it does say a lot. The thing is that
while that's true, there are long-term and short-term solutions. Right
now,
we can't work on the long-term ones, because of the consequences in the
short-term. It's not like people aren't aware of the long-term problem.
The
question is about timing.


AKA, let's kick this can down the road and let our kids make the hard
choices.

It's not really a choice, and it's not clear that there will be a problem
down the road. It's possible, but it's not certain.
