linwood, what do you think about that?> well, i mean, she's right on. $85 billion over seven months, which is what the sequester will cut from march 1 til the end of september, and we ran way over that in one month. and the reason we have to get our debt under control is because that's how we're going to really turn the economy around. our debt is now over 100% of the size of our entire economy, and it's really constraining growth. of it's one reason why we're seeing such a stagnant recovery. charles: you know, ford, guess at this point can we all admit we do have something of a spending problem? >> well, i think we do, and what it shows is how ridiculous the president's sequester shenanigans were. the deal here is very simple. you know, the president thinks we can tax our way out of this, and he doesn't want to talk about it, and the fact remains if we tax everybody in this country who made over a million dollars this year at 100%, that would only bring us up to $726 billion, and the deficit this year is going to be 8-900
