In reply to the discussion: Senate's No. 2 Democrat calls for cuts to social safety net [View all]You are accepting the right wing world view, we do not need to cut Medicare & SSI. Make all income subject to SSI and the problem is solved forever. Why do the rich get a pass? End taxing capitol gains income at severely lower rates, make it subject to same rates as regular income. Pull back from Germany and Japan, they don't need our millions of servicepeople over there and we don't need to be paying trillions of dollars to them for this either. End weapons programs for things we don't need. MaKe companies pay taxes on foreign income, make them pay for every job they move over-seas and give them tax breaks for moving jobs back here. These moves alone would generate both jobs and reduce the deficit without hurting working class people one bit.
Do not buy into their lies.
