[Opinionated Blowhard]

Once all the Dems’ slogans, lies and demagoging are gone, America is going to have to wake up and realize they have two choices:

either cut spending back to abotu 18% of GDP, which would include entitlement reform (ie, Social Security and Medicare aren’t going to look like what they used to look like) OR

raise taxes on EVERYONE—mainly the middle class—to pay for government spending at about 25% to 35% of GDP, which is what it will be if Social Security and Medicare aren’t reformed.

There is no more free ride. This article points out the folly of assuming we can have it all on the backs of “the rich.”

"raise taxes on EVERYONE...."

How about if gov ceases ALL foreign aid before raising taxes & cutting back on the home front?

Our country is going down the tubes yet I never hear anything about cutting foreign aid; never. Why is that?

Another BIG problem is we need to PAYBACK what the government has already stolen from Social Security.

Try to explain to someone the reason they have to wait until htey are 80 to get SS is because their granddad voted for people who stole from him.

We need to start calling it what it is...stealing form our grandkids. We need to do like the rats and put poor innocent babies on TV and say a vote to not reform Washington is a vote to kill this baby.
