The inability of any of these little men to find a 1:10 split of tax increases to program cuts acceptable on the grounds of too much taxation shows the lack of seriousness. Unfortunately, the way out of this appears barred. We can't give Obama a Democratic House because they don't take debt seriously. The present Republican House is, likewise, not serious. Unless Huntsman mans up on the Republican side I don't see anyone willing to be the President of all Americans. And holy shit, I can see why Texans would love to send their Governor to Washington, what a fruitcake!
