Tax cuts obviously are not working. We must raise taxes to fix the deficit. Cut spending? Don't be absurd. That would never work..................

I mean - wouldn't this be expected. April? Don't most people have a positive checking account balance on pay day?

I know this is not an accurate forecast of the deficit but dividing our current deficit by 7 then multiplying by 12 comes to around $316 Billion for the year or 2.5% of GDP.
As far as deficits go and especially figuring we are at war in 2 countries that is a pretty small deficit. If we were to freeze non defense spending at 2006 levels for the next 3 years and figuring on a conservative estimate of annual revenue growth of 5% a year we would have a balanced budget if not a small surplus by 2009. Democrats and RINO's always b*tch that the administration has never asked us to sacrifice, here would be the chance to call there bluff. Ask every American to make due with what we are spending now for the next 3 years so we can get our fiscal house in order. Of course it will never happen though. But it is nice to dream.
