Didn't we have a Bowles-Simpson bipartison plan to cut entitlements, defense and raise revenue. What the hell happened. Everybody's pet program's have to take a hit and we need more revenue. That is why we have a deficit. We are spending to much on everythin and not collecting enough taxes. A tax cut and spend economic plan is fiscally irresponsible. To start with cut defense, how much Social Security you collect will be determined by your wealth, and all income will be taxed. Also, all elected officials at the federal level will rely solely on Medicaid for their health insurance until they leave office.
