Yep, raising taxes (which did little to increase tax revenue, just shifted the burden directly to the wage earner) and slashing defense spending to get a democrat 'balanced' budget is irrelevant. Interesting Clinton raised the taxes on the average American more than any other president, yet reinues are higher under Bush
The MANDATORY increases in spending for social security, Medicare, and the like will outpace tax revenue by 2052. Doesn't matter if Ron Paul is president if the entitlement programs dont' change.
