Since the president was sworn into office, America has run up red ink at an astounding rate of $4.9 billion a day. Yet the president continues to kick the can down the road -- and there's not much road left.

The president could have come clean to the American people about the serious nature of Washington's spending problem, could have discussed the need to build consensus around some tough but reasonable spending cuts. Instead, he ducked any debate on spending by promising to "call the bluff" of a straw man of his own creation.

The president's bravado suggests that he is laying the groundwork to justify sweeping new tax hikes hitting small businesses and the middle class. If the past is prologue, the administration will brand those who oppose these tax increases as opponents of deficit reduction.

Nothing could be further from the truth. When we need private industry to grow and the American people to invest and spend, it's far more reasonable to close the deficit with sensible spending reductions than with tax hikes.
