He added, however, that he was only open to new revenues if Democrats agreed to significant changes to mandatory spending programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. “Without real reform on the entitlement side, I don’t know how you put any revenue on the table,” he said.

Neither side has the courage to address reform on the entitlement side. Their fears are real given the demonstrations and riots that occurred in Wisconsin over excessive pension benefits, and asking workers to actually start paying their fair share.

Maybe we just need to wait and see how the socialists in Europe, especially Greece put themselves together after their economic collapse.

Of course, no one has been looking at how Russia is recovering after their economic collapse.

Economic collapse happens 100% of the time when socialism is tried. But nobody studies the recovery because it will not happen here, and therefor is not applicable to us! Socialism is great because everyone gets everything for free!
