Why dont you ask these questions instead -
Is the EPA and DOE effective for the BILLIONS we pump into into them? Is there a better way?
Is Social Security working or would an average person have more money if the money was invested in another fashion instead of being borrowed by the govt and potentially never paid back?
I rather do this that raise taxes. In order to run an effective business you try to lower expenses before raising fees. Is that so bad?

Nope, not so bad. I think we can make serious improvements in the efficiency of alot of program. The tea party seems to want to abolish programs they don't like because of ideology more than budget reasons I also believe if the one side will not budge on the tax issue for the top percent, then they aren't serious about reducing the deficit.
On the epa: Obama wanted to lower the epa budget by 3 million. Republicans by 3 billion. The tea party seems to want to disband it. Same with department of ed.
The department of energy budget is lower now than in 1984, when adjusted for inflation.
