RE: if we are willing to make major cuts in Medicare and Medicaid.
What about Social Security?
Let’s put it this way, MEDICARE, MEDICAID and SOCIAL SECURITY are the UNTOUCHABLE portions of our spending. They also happen to be the ones that cost us the most money and are on their way to insolvency.
ANY FISCAL PROPOSAL THAT DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE ABOVE RAILS are merely trimming around the edges.
Agreed. But going there means political oblivion.
Even Republicans are not that stupid.
