Everyone must make efforts to clean up the country's fiscal mess

As an editorial board, we use this space of time, and once again support the conservative fiscal policies, including tax relief, at the local, state and federal levels. As a philosophical principle, we believe in small government, reducing government spending, tax cuts and economic advantages.

In order to achieve these goals, expressed appreciation to the tax-for-fee reform of our national dialogue Grover Norquist and Americans contribution.

However, we believe that the realism of the few Republicans in Congress seem to distance themselves from an encouraging sign Norquist's taxpayer protection promise.

Simply put, this is everyone in Washington to get serious about our national debt and federal deficit spending, including the time Norquist and his disciples in Congress.

Our national debt is $ 16 trillion. In the past four years, the federal government spent one trillion U.S. dollars, more than has been into

In our nation's capital, not people do not agree with this insanity must be stopped, but financially reckless and irresponsible to continue.

What is the reason? An unwillingness to compromise.

In order to eliminate our debt and stop the deficit, everything must be on the table, including increased revenue. Nothing can be regarded as sacred. Nothing.

This means that an open mind (and we may increase the political courage) by the Republicans, including the part of those who signed Norquist's pledge, as a comprehensive agreement by higher taxes, some Americans think .

This does not mean to completely abandon the all tax principles conservatives, but to confirm that they actually staring at our country in the face of huge challenges.

We will increase, but that seems to be a disproportionate financial cliff "and the country's fiscal mess after the general election debate has been focused on the revenue side.

Budget discussions in Washington must slash spending and reform interests.

In other words, the Democratic Party must practice open-mindedness and political courage.

No extraordinary bipartisan compromise will allow us in the place we need as a nation - no, need - to go.
