With the deficits we're running and the need to improve infrastructure, develop energy independence and put a decent health care system in place, not to mention all kinds of existing and potential problems abroad, I don't see how we cannot raise taxes unless we do it GOP style by calling taxes by some other name and using gimmicks like selling highways to private companies, continuing to privatize prisons, and raising "fees" for everything.


Both candidates' tax plans really are problematic, but McCain's is "slash spending" and yet he won't cut any bit of the military budget.

So if not that route, then where to? I mean I'm pretty sure neither candidate will cut cash-bleeding projects like the Harriet Jet.

So what will get axed if its President McCain and a Democratic Congress, if anything?
