But, raising taxes needs to happen. I don't understand where else the money is supposed to come from. Maybe that's my own ignorance, but I'm not betting on it.

There's the 'defense' spending problem that nobody ever says anything about. Hundreds and hundreds of military bases around the world for no real reason. Two impossible wars against cultures rather than standing armies. The extreme inefficiency of our military in the first place.

Government contracts, private deals, and a military culture in place since the cold war that are so deep-seated in our government that it's impossible to break it up.

Cut military spending by just 50% and redefine it's goals, you'd have enough money to feed and educate every child in the country that wants it and billions left over.
