And it's not like we have no idea where we can raise more money-our taxation level is the lowest of all western democracies, plus we are the only major democracy without a value-added tax.
Here's what we do: Abolish the income tax, add a substantial (say, 10%) consumption tax, plus enough of a carbon tax so that the true cost (environmental, health, and military) of fossil fuels is reflected in their price. Now add targeted spending cuts, and 'voila! A balanced budget in less than a decade.
