Simplifying the matter, we need to raise taxes on the rich ($250,000+ yearly income)and simultaneously be very aggressive on lowering our spending; Two very hard pills to swallow. Think of our nation as a business, I do not know of or ever heard of any business that can spend more money than they make. Eventually the debt collector will come knocking (and if it were you or me or any average American we would end up losing our shirts and/or our homes). It just comes down to simple dollars and cents people.
