> There is going to be a rush to judgement, but I'm not convinced that the government is going to use the tax money wisely.... Keeping the Government in the pinch has forced them to crack down on waste and fraud. It would be much harder for them to bail out wall street this time around.
Do you really mean to say that the solution to our budget problems is less revenue? The current deficits are the result of simultaneous decreases in revenues and increases in spending (http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Doc...). To get back to a balanced budget, we need more revenue and (eventually) less spending.
And I don't know to what extent the government has been forced to crack down on "waste and fraud." Certainly, that's not exclusively what's being cut.
