They can try to raise taxes, but they’ve reached the end of their rope. Any tax increases will just result in a political backlash at this point.
Yup, cause most of America is sizing up the situation already. Their talking to their neighbors, questioning how long this can last. Their asking themselves the hard questions; how long can I last? These are ordinary spoon fed nightly news types and they are getting it. What they make is fodder for the juggernaut that is Federal Government and the Gubermnint wants what is John Q. Public's to give to Paul (read socialist rats) and I think their finally getting tired.
You couldn’t raise taxes high enough to cover Democrat spending, Mr. Volc!
The aholes in the Obambic Party desperately want Republican cover for this. God save us from McVain and Pansy Graham's "bipartisanship".
