a rational approach to state spending would include a wholesale reassessment of the levels of expenditure on the military, the function of the military in a post cold-war environment, etc....there's no need for anything remotely like present levels of spending apart from the republican strategy of using this area to prop up the economy. without such a reassessment, questions like tax rates are trapped inside an irrational framework. folk will pay in a host of ways more under another republican administration--tax rates will be the least problematic of the types of increased payment.
