Republican leaders are threatening to bring on an economic catastrophe unless Democrats make deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Deep cuts to SS and Medicare? Is that even true?

Deep cuts to entitlement programs are being asked for. No one has the cajones to say which entitlements they want to cut. Neither the Republican elite nor the Dem’s are willing to name any specific cuts to entitlements they would agree to. Everyone is just nipping around the edges and not being serious about deficit reduction.
Annoying doesn’t begin to cover it.
Almost everyone agrees there is a problem...it’s math...it’s not tough. You spend $5 but only $4 comes in as revenue. There are diminishing returns to having too high of taxes (revenue). So duh, you need to spend less.
Majority Leader Harry's transgression is that for over 1300 days, he has failed to pass a budget. In fact, there is no evidence he has even tried. This is against the law. Federal law clearly requires the Congress to pass a budget every year.
I'm going with Felony! And, he's a repeat offender.
