“Middle Class” tax cuts won’t do much unless he’s talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare taxes. That is risky without entitlement reform. Notwithstanding the braying from the Left, the US has one of the most progressive income tax systems in the Western World, with the top 20% paying 90% of all income taxes. What we need are spending cuts, entitlement reform and tax reform that creates a flat tax. Hell will freeze over before we get any of that.

Ain’t gonna happen. Those are UNTOUCHABLE, Demographic pressure just won’t allow that to happen.

What we need is to stop paying out fat pensions to all govt workers including military until at least age 60 or 62...

SS is and always has been fully funded by workers....govt pensions not even close.
