And…this is the other side of the argument.

We have to find a way to live within our means. Just raising taxes will not solve the problem is spending is raised right along with it.

Being the “government” should not give you the ability to just keep asking for more with no accountability on the other end.

Well, when the means wildly change for the worse because the financial system collapsed and the credit market collapsed, businesses can’t get lending, tax base shrinks, this rhetoric rings a little hollow

It’s like you see a guy hit by a truck and then you scold him for not being able to skip down the street. Live within your means!
