C'mon, let's raise taxes

We… owe… the money. We elected incompetent fools/rapacious petrogarchs to high office. We gave them a credit card. They maxed it out. They got several more and maxed those out, too. And we are the co-signers.

Raise the debt ceiling, like every president has bitten the bullet and done. Raise taxes and take your medicine. You cared, innocently, about helping others. No shame in that. But simultaneously, you got married to a couple of idiots who blew all your money and left the whole family with nothing to show for it. Saddam’s dead? Osama’s dead? Is that gonna help you get a job? Pay your rent? Buy your kid some sneakers for school this fall?
