Our government doesn't have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem. The surest way to solve a budget problem is to limit spending. We do it all the time in our daily lives. Why can't the government?

answer to that one is easy. you cut government services, you piss off people more than if you run a deficit or if you raise taxes a little. that makes flexibility extremely hard.
bottom line (and to use a cliche) is people want to have their cake and eat it too.
