Credit/Debt maxed out. What's important--cutting spending, bringing in more $$ (or maybe both)?

What's most important is limiting spending in proportion to GDP. The rest of us have to limit spending proportional to income, why shouldn't the government.

There is a very limited amount of more money that you can bring in, most individuals just cant up and get a better job.

The federal government really cant get more tax revenue without destroying the economic recovery we are slowly experiencing

With government you have to cut spending because whenever they bring in more money they just spend more.

Would you hand an alcholic a bottle of booze? No.

Would you hand over your hard earned money to a govt who is addicted to your money and can't stop spending? No.

Which can you for sure do right now without any help from anyone?

Cut the fat from where the fat is.
