Very little is actually 'impossible'... and certainly not running a balanced budget. There are at least $200 billion a year in compliance costs to corporations caused by our convoluted and loophole-ridden tax codes. ... Untold other billions in special interest giveaways. All it would require is the guts to do the right thing to get us out of this mess. (But many special interests would have to be gored.) If you ask me, running deficits for the next 10 years of sufficient magnitude to ladle on an extra 1 Trillion dollars in additional interest costs to the national debt is the height of irresponsibility.
