Reply #66: I thought Kent Conrad would have more sense

Why don't they just raise the damn tax rates and eliminate some deductions and credits? The tax code is too complicated and too easy to manipulate. And I think an even more important point - bring back the high paying jobs. People working in the computer industry or manufacturing pay alot more taxes than someone working part-time at Home Depot. I think you can pretty much start and finish looking there for where the balanced budget went! And what's more, I'm ashamed it took Duncan Hunter who is a nutcase 90% of the time to point this out rather than Obama or Edwards or anyone you would expect to say such a thing.
