Imagine this, Jan 2011 Obama says to GOP leadership, I am willing to cut $4T from the deficit in 10-12 years. Of that amount, $3.2T will come from cuts in spending, $800B needs to come from tax reforms (reevaluating deductions, foolish tax breaks that have become entitlements). I think the GOP would be holding a victory parade down Pennsylvania Ave. It's time to realize this problem needs a wide range of solutions instead of pigeon holing it to one action plan. Businesses not only keep a tight reign on their expenses, but they raise prices when needed (as a last resort). So why is the US government not allowed?
