I would accept raising taxes IF an equal amount of government spending could be cut...but we all know that wouldn’t happen.

Cut two dollars, raise taxes one dollar.

National defense, veterans, roads & bridges (fuel tax only) every other program cut at least 80% and NO MORE WELFARE of any kind. Phase out Social Security & Medicare and privatize them. No more food stamps, Section 8, TANF, WIC, Head Start, etc. Either work or don't eat, unless you're provably disabled by three separate panels of doctors. Don't like that? Leave!!
