Anything other than "trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see" - as this administration's policy has been described - has got to be a better idea.

The fact that there are still people who think you can cut taxes to reduce the deficit is scary to me. Obama has done the former, no one who was elected was going to be able to do the latter in this climate. I love the "get rid of the deficit!" refrain without any specific explanations of how to do so.
