DEFICIT: Good choices not given

I could not answer your online poll this week. There was no upside to the predetermined negative outcome of:
1. I'd rather pay more income taxes
2. I'd rather lose some Social Security benefits
3. I'd rather pay higher gas tax
Here is my similar poll:
1. I'd rather get hit by a truck
2. I'd rather be run over by a train
3. I'd rather have lightning strike me
Are these the only alternatives we Americans have anymore? I would rather think we can work to turn things around for a better future.
