Tough situation, no deficit would be good, but it isn't necessarily a practical reality. We are still recovering from one of the worst recessions in the history of our country, you can't expect their to be no deficit, nor can you expect their to be a quick fix with a shaky economy.

I think the Bush tax cuts and refunds worked and are continuing to work, I think they were just what the doctor ordered given the state of the economy. But you're right when you say the spending needs to be cut, that is perhaps the biggest issue. But like I said first things first, the economy is getting better everyday, we'll get to the deficit spending when we can actually do something with it.
