I think we need to all of these:

- cut spending
- increase tax rates for individuals
- introduce a nominal 3% sales tax

I think increasing the corporate tax rate is a mistake because it will fundamentally change the economics of projects. While I see that shaking out over time as adjustments are made, the short term pain right now is not worth it.
