Exactly. To eliminate the trillion dollar deficit with taxes, the average family would have to pay an extra $10,000 every year and there is no guarantee that spending won't simply increase along with the taxes like it has before. The only solution is for the government to live within its means.

Submission + - Could Amazon Reviews Be Corrupt?
adeelarshad82 writes: In the first academic study of its kind, Trevor Pinch, Cornell University professor of sociology and of science and technology studies, independently surveyed 166 of Amazon's top 1,000 reviewers, examining everything from demographics to motives. What he discovered was 85 percent of those surveyed had been approached with free merchandise from authors, agents or publishers. Amazon is encouraging reviewers to receive free products through Amazon Vine, an invitation-only program in which the top 1,000 reviewers are offered a catalog of free products to review. John Dvorak puts up an argument which hints that some of these Amazon reviews may be corrupt.

United Airlines Passengers Stranded By Computer Outage 74
From reader Peter McDermott comes word of a computer outage with effects to dwarf those of the one that stranded thousands of US Airways passengers last week. This time, it's United Airlines' systems that are out of commission and unable to handle passenger reservations, leaving passengers stranded all over the U.S. According to Peter, experiencing the resultant delays first-hand at Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C., United planes are being sent on — along with their passengers' luggage — to the cities from which they're to leave tomorrow morning, in anticipation of the computer system being fixed in the interim.

Hmmmm. Might be risky rather than stupid. Maybe by proving the incompetence of the security company, they can have evidence thrown out.
