Mort is basically saying that the socialists have run out of other people's money, and confiscatin everything from people making over $66,000 / year as well as from corporations wouldn't even make a dent. Curiously, he still says taxes should be raised, "in a way that doesn't discourage effort or cause capital flight". Good luck with that. Mort also thinks entitlements must be "means tested".

The question is not whether we must make the tough choices to put our nation's finances in order. The question is whether we will do so before the market forces us to do so.

The politicians will do so only if forced to by "the market".
Ironic, isn't it?

Mort Romney. They keep on trying. And not a word on 800,000 civilian “employees” of the Pentagon, and all the other bureaus and fed. agencies.
