[Guest post] Chill Wysocki, Chill

I don't mind the rule 5 stuff so much (other than it's inherent rudeness is an abuse of the license granted old, white, heterosexual males such as us) but you really need to step back from politics, Wy, and have another martini. Trust me: your blog is in the very best of hands.

Let's see, where was I? Oh yeah, I love taxes.

No, silly, I mean taxes as in dollars

But seriously, Wy must really be quite drunk over there if he thinks we can dig ourselves out of this multi-trillion dollar PER YEAR financial hole without raising some revenue. The way I look at it, for a long time politicians on both sides of the aisle have been pandering to their bases, giving their constituency what it wants. The right panders for votes with unfunded tax cuts; the left panders for votes with unfunded services. Both sides give it up for seniors and soldiers. It's always an unfunded chicken in every pot and it has to stop. Both sides need to nut up, go back to their bases, and prepare them to chow down a big slice of crow pie for the good of the country. We need a two-pronged "everybody suffers" approach that combines honest cuts in spending with honest increases in revenue. I believe the president's claim that this is what the majority of Americans want: a balanced, and big, deal.

Oh, and Buy Bonds.
