In theory raising taxes could be simple. In practice where likely to do so in complex ways. But simple or not, raising taxes would be a bad idea. We need to get the government moving in the other direction, away from higher taxes and higher spending. The type of taxes that would be needed to erase deficits that large would be seriously harmful, esp. if they where not simple, but instead came with new complexities and additional intervention as they probably would.
