If Congress raises taxes, they will have no incentive to cut spending. In fact, they will do what they always do: raise taxes immediately - even retroactively - and then pass spending "cuts" that are really increases using something called "math", but never mind, because they won't implement them anyway.
If these clowns keep going this way, they are going to be made to understand that the Tea Parties of 2009 were but a warning. Do the words "alter or abolish" ring a bell?
Unfortunately, the math challenged are always with us.
They seem to think that money grows on trees. We can just "tax" more of it.
