NY Times' Broder Responds To Tesla's Elon Musk

DocJohn writes "NY Times' John Broder responded to Elon Musk's blog entry. Accused of driving around a parking lot for no reason, for instance, Broder notes he was simply looking for the poorly marked charging station. Worst of all, much of Broder's behavior can be attributed directly to advice he received from Tesla representatives — something Musk fails to mention."

Actually, you don't need both. It may be desirable to reach a balanced budget with a combination of spending cuts and revenue increases in order to lessen the blow from either, but either will work for balancing the budget. On the flip side, you could balance the budget entirely through revenue increases. Simply increase tax rates across the board until the budget is balanced. Done. Or you can simply cut spending until it's in line with revenues. An across-the-board (including all entitlements) cut of, say, 25% of spending will do that. Or you could cut all spending by 75% and have a large surplus. Or you could do an infinite number of combinations to reach any given stated goal.

The point being, the Tea Party folks may be calling for something that isn't necessarily healthy for the US economy, but they most certainly aren't calling for something that's impossible by any stretch of the imagination.
