Should the state consider raising taxes to balance the budget?
No, no, no, no, and a thousand times no. Individuals have to live within their budget even if it means giving up that which may be considered necessary, so why shouldn't the state. If the state obtains extra income it more than likely won't be spent on what they will say the taxes are raised for.
There may very well be a global economic collapse just ahead of us, which is the result of many countries' vast spending and debt habits, the U.S. included.
