You are not living under the sequestration. Let those that are Mojorabbit Oct 2013 #137

What do you think about cuts to SS benefits? sabrina 1 Oct 2013 #124

You mean the SS cuts that aren't going to happen, just like the last 10 times they've been JoePhilly Oct 2013 #125

So you don't support SS cuts, you don't support the Chained CPI. Good, then we are in agreement and sabrina 1 Oct 2013 #139

Correct, I do not support the SS cuts that are also not happening ... no matter how much JoePhilly Oct 2013 #145

"The link merely states that Ryan et al wanted even more damage in the form of entitlement cuts." ProSense Oct 2013 #20

Its not "too negative", its a false equivalence. D23MIURG23 Oct 2013 #94

I made no equivalence zeemike Oct 2013 #101

If you are not making an equivalence then you are using the wrong metaphor. D23MIURG23 Oct 2013 #102

Making deals like that are for fools. zeemike Oct 2013 #109

You also avoided my question, so I'll rephrase and ask again. D23MIURG23 Oct 2013 #96

Making progress is not winning. zeemike Oct 2013 #99

Its a matter of semantics whether making progress is considered winning. D23MIURG23 Oct 2013 #105

Exactly, and again, to play the REAL game you need to keep your eyes on the ball nolabels Oct 2013 #116

Um, no, Democrats passed a budget that ended the sequester. joshcryer Oct 2013 #88

Of course there is a difference. THat's not the point. Of course what we got was better than rhett o rick Oct 2013 #103

The Ryan budget assumes the sequester is made permanent. joshcryer Oct 2013 #106

Most programs were not exempted from the sequester. former9thward Oct 2013 #118
