Here are the revenue and spending numbers for the last several years so explain to me how this is a revenue problem.

Year Revenue Spending
2007 $2.57 trillion $2.73 trillion
2008 $2.52 trillion $2.98 trillion
2009 $2.11 trillion $3.52 trillion
2010 $2.16 trillion $3.46 trillion
2011 2.17 trillion $3.82 trillion (projected)

So let's see, revenues are down by $400 billion since 2007 because of the economy is in recession and spending is up $1.1 trillion but its a revenue problem. Yeah, right.........

It looks even more stark as a spending problem the further you go back. If we reduced government spending to 2006 levels when the world didn't come to an abrupt end and instituted some real reform so businesses could again feel confident and hire all would be joyful. That can't happen with the Messiah in the White House and Dems controlling the Senate. By the way, these are OMB numbers.
