We’re headed for the fiscal cliffs like Greece.

But no one wants to talk about cutting the debt because cutting benefits is about as popular as the Typhoid Mary.

We’ll muddle through because this is our best option going forward and debt reform can be left to be tackled at some later date in the future.

There was a time when deficits were actually talked about by the MSM.

But Caliph Baraq proved you can buy an election with entitlements no matter how bad the economy is. So the MSM doesn’t care any more, at least until a Republican is POTUS.

We could cut benefits to illegal aliens. We could cut SS benefits to dependent children, no more $650 a month because you got the ‘crazy letter’ from a doctor. It won’t happen though, not until it goes completely bust and all the politicians flee the country.

What do you mean not addressing it?

I’m getting tired of repetition in Trump speeches. Always the same 19 Trillion, soon to be 21 Trillion speech, that ten years ago very few even had heard the term Trillion.

So I don’t get what the article is talking about
