Where do you cut?

Also raising taxes wont fix it alone. You got to cut and raise rev. .
1. Are you telling me that The United States Of America can not make it without having a huge army that occupies countries around the world? Is that really what our country is now and forever forward? That's depressing.

2. My daughter's boyfriend's mother works at Walmart. And like most families her dad has a job too. They do NOT need welfare assistance. She makes a decent wage at Walmart (checkout) and has some benefits from it too because she has been there a while.

3.I've already pointed out that raising income tax rates will have ZERO effect on the rich (they make their money off of capital gains). Raising capital gains taxes will decrease investment.
And by the way....federal revenue does NOT necessarily rise with rate increase. It rises with employment:
