We've played that suckers game before. The tax increases get implemented and spending cuts don't.
Besides, we don't have a revenue problem -- its well within the historical range. Its the fucking spending that is out of control. Chuck, the federal government's spending is up 60% this decade. Federal spending as a percentage of GDP is up from 18.5% to 24.2%. That is insane and unsustainable. Bush started this mess and Obama has made it twice as bad.
The solution is very simple. Cut everything!!!
