Two facts neither party seems to have the courage to accept:

1. Taxes will have to go up
2. Spending will have to come down

The only question is how much deeper a hole we'll dig ourselves into before we as a nation find the courage to do what must be done. It's going to hurt, but it will hurt much less than pretending the problem doesn't exist until it all collapses.

Yeah but lets do number 2 first, before ever considering number 1. Somehow Washington is not good at cutting anything and it's time they learn.
