Deficit reduction plan..

[username]

I was thinking more along the lines of voluntary purchases of Gov't issued securities, additional bullshit surcharges, co-pays for Gov't services and hiked admission fees to/for Gov't "stewardship" holdings.

Increased taxes? Do you think we really have a choice if it's a Fed thing?

Huh?



I'm just frustrated. We have this bi-partisan commission (which btw, is probably costing millions)...if they come out with a majority vote to recommend this plan--it's not going to happen. And I doubt anything even remotely resembling the plan will happen because of the politics. Republicans make pledges not to raise taxes (at all), Democrats promise not to make program cuts, well, wtf? How is this country ever going to make the hard but necessary decisions?
