re: #68 sod

Completely OT, but, I was thinking today that Republicans should drop the spending cut angle completely, leave spending levels at what they are and propose raising personal income taxes to whatever levels would be required to fully fund the budget with absolutely no more borrowing.

I wonder what those tax brackets would look like?

Never gonna happen. Remember, this is a party that not only wants to make the Bush Tax Cuts permanent, but just tried to push through a plan that would have compounded on that stupidity in a truly horrible way. Even his lordship, Speaker Boehner, has declared that tax increases are off the table, period.
