Again, raise taxes, but no attempt to control spending. Heck, BHO just spent another $20 million tax-dollars on his most recent, family's vacation, so has already spent some of that increase. Also, not related, but the timing of the SS tax hike for everyone was interesting, and will be felt during the recovery.
