No...what's disgusting is that BOTH SIDES need to stop...and people won't stop pointing fingers at each other.
Cut spending AND raise taxes. We all voted in the bums (or failed to vote out the bums) who did this...so we all own it.
BOTH!!! BOTH need to be done. Get that through your skull.
Then let's institute a VAT tax that can only be used to pay down the debt as part of a balanced budget amendment to make sure nothing is added to the debt.
When the debt is paid, the VAT sunsets.
Everybody pays a share.

If we simply raise taxes, the politicians will just spend it.
Show me a tax hike that HAS EVER SUNSETTED???
You are MORE THAN NIAVE if you believe that would EVER happen.
Besides VAT would be a HUGE BURDEN on this economy. It would not only kill jobs (as it has in Europe) but reduce revenues to the government (because of the loss of jobs).
Bad idea all around.
