Deficit on the wane

The best way to raise goverment revenue is through growing the economy. Now if congress could start cutting some fat (and the president grew some cajones and started vetoing appropriation bills) we might get a balanced budget.

This is like hearing a morbidly obese man who goes in for his yearly check-up, finds out he gained only 10 pounds instead of the 20 he was guessing, and says, "That's great -- now if I can only run a marathon or two I might be able to play professional basketball."
