You certainly can't make an effective dent in the deficit without raising taxes and without cutting the military, social security, and medicare spending....this is the fundamental incoherence of mainstream conservative thought: they want more military and they consistently vote for TARP sized bailouts and more entitlements, and then they say they want lower taxes and less government. At the end of the day they're more likely to get two fornicating unicorns than lower taxes and less government.
