Would you rather raise taxes and pay off our debts or default on the debt or inflate the currency?

I think it's time to bite the bullet. A raise in taxes, closing loopholes and whatever else it takes over a short period of time seems like a better idea than thinking we're going to 'grow' our way out of this. We expect our military to fight and die, but so many people aren't even willing to make a monetary sacrifice for the good of our country. A national sales tax totally directed toward debt is in order. All in favor say aye!
