The whole problem with this is that any of us could go balance the budget with plans both radical and reasonable, but no matter what, you have to do something, or some combination of things, that will be unpopular. The people in control of the purse strings simply aren't going to do that.
I keep wondering when we'll wind up like post WWI Germany; or modern day Zimbabwe... rampant inflation, massive unemployment, because we didn't tackle the problem when we could have.
Or will we do as Argentina did and repudiate the debt? It was disastrous at the time, but they are sure doing fine now.
