In the 80s the deal worked out by Reagan with the Rats was 3,dollars in cuts for every dollar in tax increases. The taxes went up but, we know the rest.....
True. Everyone always talks about cuts in Medicare as if that is the be all end all. I don’t see what they can use some imagination and cut the real fat which is the so called disability SSI and other nonsense like the study on the minsi fly....sure they will yell that studying different insects MIGHT find the cure from cancer but after 50 years, how long do you need to study the dang insect. Our Government can cut many areas but the only discussion is medicare which actually is the only area where people ACTUALLY pay into it. Such a weird direction we are going towards.
