I think something shown in the ideological hand here is that the tax hikes are framed as regressive tax hikes. You can make up a significant portion of the gap by adopting the sort of progressive taxes we had pre Reagan. There's also probably substantial savings to be had by moving to a single payer healthcare system which I think we should expect in the coming decades - support creeps up every single year.

Few people discuss that a large part of the 2008 auto company bailout was simply becuase our retirement and healthcare plans are so inefficient. Essentially the auto companies need relief from the retirement plans to compete with countries with civilized policies. The way congress works against the populous on this issue puts the individuals and the businesses at a disadvantage globally.
