It's not a R or D issue, it's a math problem. We'll never pay down the debt if we continue to borrow. The only way we can pay down the debt is through higher taxes.With that said, here is congress's definition of a spending cut"I have a broken widget. I think it will cost $200. I found one on sale for $150. I cut spending by $50"vs.We spent $150.---I hate a "reduction in planned spending" or better yet, a "reduction in then planned growth of spending" being referred to a spending cut.It wouldn't be true for an American family so why is it true for government.</blockquote>
