Hell, just tax everyone @ 200% and let central planning clean up the mess. That's the game plan.

That really isn't true. Or doesn't have to be. Just look at what happened during the Clinton years. He called it the "Peace Dividend". And it worked. And we paid more in taxes.
But it doesn't matter. That kind of defeatist attitude doesn't help anything or anyone. What do we spend our money on? Social Security, Medicade/Medicare and the Military. I'm not in favor of cutting the first two. We can cut the third if we're smart and we start now. Bin Laden's plan was to lure us into a war that would bankrupt us. It's working. We need to stop.
Okay, that won't get fixed tomorrow. But we need to start working on it. In the mean time, we need to a tax to pay for the wars. At least get back to where we were eight years ago.
