That's part of the solution. But cutting spending won't fix the deficit all by itself, it's just too big. So yes, "raising revenue" has to be the other half of the solution, or else, as they said in Blazing Saddles, "we're just @#$%ing off." And if the Republicans really cared about reducing the deficit, and weren't more concerned with placating their voting base, they'd admit that.

"And if the Republicans really cared about reducing the deficit"

Hold on! Don't you know that it is both parties? This is not an issue of one party not doing what they are elected to do.

And on cutting spending I bet we would be surprised at how much money we would save by changing a few immigration laws. Start getting down to real cuts. Think about all of the foreign aid money and who is getting it.

There are many ways to save money to pay on our debt but you don't hear our political leaders trying to do anything about it. All we hear is bs and all we see them doing is stalling by bad mouthing each other and talking about cuts to social security.
