Maybe not now but at some point the right wing will have to swallow this reality - without additional taxes then there will be draconian cuts in defense, SS, and Medicare.
IMO, if we really downsized defense that would probably be good for everyone except the thousands of contractors that are now employed by the MIC. In the case of SS and Medicare it will be coming at a time when the population is aging and I don't think this will ever be accepted. I suspect it might even come to "tar and feathering" the GOP for decades. At this point I really do wish we had a solution like PRAYER - we could use some magic.
An example of a possible power plant closure is the coal fired power plant near Austin operated by LCRA that is in danger of closing simply because Austin is threatening to refuse to buy their power unless they clean up their pollution. This is just one of those in Texas that have violated Federal EPA standards for years and Texas conveniently ignored.
Peace
