Debt will lead to tax increases

How can both presidential candidates be talking about tax cuts with our country already mired in intolerable debt even before the planned buying of $700 billion or more of devalued investments that may never be worth more than their negotiated purchase price. When we citizens overspend on our credit cards, we finally have to raise the dollars to pay them off. The next president will surely have to raise taxes in order to pay down debt, but few voters want to face this truth and so the candidates don't say it.
