[Non-Sequitur]

If, as many expect, the Democrats lose effective or actual control of Congress in the November elections, it is likely to be because the public has risen up and rejected the party that has brought us these intolerable multitrillion-dollar deficits with a budget proposal that fails even to propose a path out of the morass.

Which would mean that they expect the Republicans to come up with a path to get us out of the multitrillion-dollar deficits. I hope we have a plan.

There is no talk of reducing entitlement programs coming from Republicans. I don’t think there is any consensus even among R’s for reductions of benefits.

I haven’t heard a peep from our side. I think our plan is to not have a plan.

re: I hope we have a plan

Amen. But I fear any plan that would work would be so draconian as to scare most of America away. I'm not sure we have the leadership to put such a plan into practice. The first job would be to convince people it's the only plan that has any hope of success. After that, it would be a full time job to keep on track with it.

As painful as the plan, and actually carrying it out would be it's far better than what awaits us if we don't git-’er-done.
