The only way to pay off the debt is to make Congress stop spending more than they take in. Some think this is done by raising taxes to bring more in; I think it can only be done by forcing Congress to live within their means.

Not that that will ever happen, but I have to dream about something.
I agree Steve. Although, there is alot of fraud, waste, and abuse that also needs to be slashed completely. In addition, I am curious by those who see tax increases as an end all. That usually fosters less economic activity, and reverses growth trends. Meaning eventually, less taxable sources from which to derive your tax base from.
