Re: "Raising taxes is not the only solution to reducing debt."

>>> Never said it was. I also said government spending was bloated (both Republican and Democrat pet programs). I only pointed out that in WWII the nation had the guts to shoulder it's obligations and pay for the war we wanted to wage)

>>> (Note: in the WWII years, Congress and the President both cut social spending *and* raised taxes... which is why we are not having to pay down an accumulated deficit from those years.)

>>> You want to cut Federal spending like I do? Well, having to actually pay the tab - instead of living on credit and beggaring your children - is a wonderful way to focus the mind on how to reduce spending.
