What shall we give up to curb taxes... hmmmm: The Iraq war Health care, in-state tuition rates, housing subsidies, and etc. for those we deem "guest" workers, the bilingualization of everything, until our own house is in order and until such time as the taxpaying citizenry enjoys those same "perks." Payments to banks (read upper management who "earn" obscene amounts, but whose companies have been run bankrupt by them) ...money which, it seems, has fueled bonuses and acquisitions rather than stimulating the credit market. cameras in the parks, cameras in the streets, cameras up your a** and those who must be paid to scrutinize them (They really don't make me feel any safer.) I think it safe to say that there are many cuts that can be made without affecting education or sanitation or transportation and many grandiose plans can be shelved without great harm.
