I cant speak for all liberals, and im not even sure if I truly am a liberal (depends on who is defining it) but at least this "liberal" (being me) is in favor of cutting govt spending and raising taxes.
I can make the same argument about "conservative mentality". Instead of increasing taxes, they just want to cut spending on everything.
Both solutions are incomplete, the problem requires BOTH increasing revenue and decreasing expenditures. At least if we want to keep our society at the same level we have had it at for the last 20 or so years.
So we can pretend that one side or the other doesnt understand, or we can admit that the problem is that neither side actually cares about fixing the problem, they just care about their own personal agendas being pushed through.
If you really cared about balancing the budget, you wouldnt oppose tax increases or budget reductions.
HA on the bolded!
