I am beginning to wonder if individuals are going to decide what they want. Low taxes, but retain services. Something's got to give here.
For some reason there seems to be a disconnect between individuals awareness of the issue of taxes, and the issue of services overlapping.
This particular article seems to be somewhat balanced (although it focuses on the Ryan (R) plan), but leans 'left' a bit, IMO, but hey, it's the NY Times!
What's the point to this thread? Well, let's see how it plays out.

"But after a 2010 election that seemed to signal not only a Republican resurgence but also a rejection of big government and a need for bold, Tea Party-type steps to slash spending, the politics now look a whole lot more complicated. Both parties are being reminded anew that voters like the idea of budget cuts, but that they often recoil when those cuts threaten the programs that touch their lives."
