good material once again!

your option #1 is out of the question, that will mean massive reform of all of our political spectrum, from foreign policy to every other costly program the government runs.

cutting coporate taxes is just not going to happen as long as we got a govt thats been runnin on deficit constantly with exception of a few years. we have 2 wars going on and many many govt programs that just cost too much... u cant just give the taxes a break cuz then these programs and wars will hit a dead end and politicians wont do this at all

and i think your #2 option which sounds totally reasonable is basically whato ron paul has been calling for... just quit fuckin around with something u ought not to mess with in the first place and toughen laws on fraud and deceptive practices.

and i agree a short term shock is better for us in the long run than just delaying this shock with this amount of money for a later one and a bigger one and perhaps a more fatal one...

the government has spoiled the people and likes to keep it that way... and people seem not to get it most of the time either... we dont want to chip in 700 billion, but we want the "credit" without having the backup to afford it... result is this mess and our national debt which has become the norm for us.
