This won't even come close to closing the deficit much less paying for all the stimulus bills but the grownups in congress do need to start discussing how to pay for this whole mess.

The only way it's ever being "paid off" is being able to cede parts of the world to China so Americans can spend $2-300 billion on the military instead of more than $700 billion per year and not have the global economy take a hit from not having the "World's Police" protecting the sea lanes. Until that's open for discussion along with the tax hikes and benefit cuts brought up by both sides, deficit talks are just a waste of time.
