There's two elements to the debt issue. Tax revenues and government spending.
If the the tax cuts are allowed to expire so we can fix the federal debt problem, then Obama's spending needs to be severely cut as well. That means revoking every single one of his stimulus programs and health care plan for starters. Then fix the problem approximately half the population paying no income tax. If we have a national problem, the federal government needs to get serious about it's overspending and everyone needs to participate in paying off the debt.
