re: #66 Obdicut

This is a great way to approach it, my concern is that in this polarized atmosphere, that I do not see changing any time soon, how do cooler, calmer heads prevail to objectively look at the issue and come up with the answer.

Some programs should be cut so that more beneficial programs will prosper and some taxes should be raised where it makes sense to fund a more successful COUNTRY. We should look at taxes as investments and expect returns on those investments.

Another concern I have is that politicians will spend money on pet projects (both sides) so even if we come up with the appropriate programs and proper tax rates - will our politicians raise their performance levels and do what is right?
