I’m super libertarian and even I would like to see somebody raise taxes and cut spending to cut the deficit… although it would be a battle to get them to lower taxes again once the debt was paid off.

Working for certain branches of the government has made me extremely cynical towards taxes. Just like most non-profit's main goal should be to put themselves out of business, many government programs should have methods of scaling back when objectives are met. I've seen buildings full of people that accomplish nothing but asking for more money.

In recent memory, there's been no trouble getting the American government to lower taxes.
Of course, they've borrowed heavily to accomplish this...
