A mantra of many Republicans, thanks to the persuasive power of Grover Norquist is "No New Taxes!" As a result, even the Super Committee has not come to any agreement on lowering the national debt.
What would these same Republicans, who think action should be take against Iran, think if somebody like Martin Luther King had gotten many Democrats to sign a pledge of "No New Wars!" And the Democrats were intransigent as a large Chinese fleet was approaching the West Coast?
Well a large Chinese interest payment is leaving our shores regularly because we won't raise enough taxes domestically to fund everything politicians and constituents want.
