However many US states have been quite financially responsible and managed to balance their budgets without raising taxes (Wisconsin comes to mind, where the Governor overcome public sector union opposition to push through severe budget cuts). I don't think Tony Abbott or most of the Liberal and National parties have the desire to push through severe budget cuts (including cuts to social security benefits) to get the budget balanced.And when was the last time Labor delivered a balanced budget? The ALP gets into power after the Coalition has cleaned up and repaid their debt, and then goes on a spending spree, happens every time they get into power.
