I'm all for low taxes and less government spending/interference, but thanks to our previous and current leaders, having what I want now is all but impossible (and it didn't take this exercise to figure that out). So at this point, I'm all for taking some pain in the near term to get us to a point where we can take everything back down and run government reasonably within our means. I mean, it's the only option we've got at this point.
