"its just necessary for our economy that all pretend the problems can be contained without too much sacrifice....the more we believe the less taxes we have to pay." The biggest problem with acceptance of more tax is that there is absolutely no confidence the money will not be wasted. There is a serious argument that the government beast should be starved of additional money - otherwise it just gets spent. We have run away farm subsidizes - when crop prices are at record levels - we have runaway earmarks - when they were promised to be ended. Until shown otherwise the best way to balance the budget is to slow spending and increase economic growth. Bob
