The literal proposal of destruction of the nation's political and economic system -- on purpose.


Bah.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told skeptical Republican senators Tuesday that it is simply not possible to correct the nation’s fiscal problems without raising taxes.

Geithner defended President Obama’s 2013 budget proposal before the Senate Finance Committee and said the plan is the only option he sees for helping the economy and addressing the deficit without hurting the middle class.

"I do not see how you get there if you are unable ... to contemplate and to embrace modest increases in revenue through tax reform," Geithner said. "I just don’t think it’s possible."

There's no solution without massive spending reductions and acceptance of the reduction of GDP that will come from it.

Entitlements are ~64% of our budget, and are growing. Under Obama's proposal these entitlements will go to 78% of the budget within 10 years.

This won't happen because it can't (mathematically)
