The scariest picture you'll ever see.

No worries. I read it as curiosity, and I like it when people question something I say. Just makes us all better off.

Agreed, Crazed. Our only two solutions are to constantly raise taxes to counter our constantly rising spending, or start making cuts. I just wish someone was brave enough to tackle that second, "unpalatable" option.

And that's the toughest sell of all. It boils down to "Yes we're taking this away from you (or adding this new tax) but it will be worse if you don't" The widely believed urban legend that taxes have gone up under Obama doesn't help matters either.

It's a political powder keg either way and it may cost someone (or multiple someones) their elected offices, but like I said, it's necessary. I only hope the right people realize this before it's too late.
