So, Obama wants to cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion over ten years by raising taxes on the “rich.” I’ve got a better idea (who couldn’t come up with a better one?). $1.5 trillion over ten years is $150 billion a year. That is almost what we spend fighting the senseless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan every year. To cut the deficit without raising taxes just end the wars. It shouldn’t be too hard. Obama did win a peace prize, didn’t he?
