InstaBlogging the Debate: WTF?

I'm sorry. How the hell are we going to address ANY of this mess without raising taxes? I still don't get it. If the assets of Fuld and others of his ilk (like the guys at Lehman Brothers Enron,etc.) could be seized and were, then, yeah, maybe. Even if the Chinese still feel like lending to us, we gotta pay them back sometime. There's gonna have to be cuts in government spending at the very least. Like in government contracting, perhaps. That would certainly change the dynamic in the DC area workforce.
