Maybe we could raise taxes to close the deficit even faster. It'd be nice to have a balanced budget, again.

Only to do it all over again January 15th.
What a joke!
How about permanent solutions instead of kicking the can down the road for another day.
I wouldn't call it back to doing their jobs. They haven't been doing their job for some time now. Had they been doing their job we wouldn't have been in this situation.

Given the history of taxes, why would one want to raise it again? I'm sure if you added Medicare/social security, federal income tax, state income tax, property tax, vehicle registration, fees for licenses/permits, sales taxes, gasoline tax, and inflation (which is in all actuality, a tax), we are overpaying. Kinda hard to keep an economy stimulated when you are taking half, or more of someone's income in taxes...

This excludes the fact that whenever a new tax is created, is almost never, if ever, gets decreased or rescinded after it's purpose has been served.
