No one said anything about any standard of excellence. All I said is that the government has to prove that its willing to do its 90% part before we are willing to do our 10% part (since we've been footing the bill for the past century). You still haven't provided any reason that won't work.

How about this? Government can raise our taxes by 1% for every 10% of actual, real money (not accounting tricks), budgetary cuts.
