Defelction, and piss-poor at that.This has become the desperate fallacy settled on by the lackeys for the Rich,
that if they can't solve the entire problem then the Rich ought to be exempt from ANY sacrifice to solve the problem.
It's idiocy.
The point is this simple truth:
Cuts in entitlement spending are necessary, if there is any hope in gaining control over the deficit.
But, as entitlements buy votes for liberals and Democrats, liberals and Democrats will never admit to this this truth, much less make any move to that end.
You got that right. Entitlements are their sacred cow and they will do nothing to straighten out any of them.
Revenue isn't the problem. Spending is the problem.
Actually BOTH are part of the problem.
You guys on the right love to equate the fed and spending to a private household and ask stupid questions about "what would you do if you were spending more than you were making?" Well I know one thing for sure and that is I wouldn't voluntarilly take a pay cut.
How does less revenue help you pay the bills if you already can't pay your bills??
Yes cutting spending is part of the equation but so is increasing revenues.
