Please.
David Brooks, the closet liberal he's always been, is an idiot.
Tell me how cutting spending and raising taxes (or, "increasing revenue") at the same time is going to fix anything?
Who does it benefit?
If you're willing to cut budgets, deal with it. Why does it have to go hand-in-hand with higher taxation(increasing revenue)?
What's the point? Democrats can't just cut a budget? Someone has to pay for it?
