"Out of Afganastan, Out of Irag..."
That is happening, and this was factored into the debt downgrade.
"End the bush tax rates and things would be a lot rosier IMHO."
Does it mean anything to you, anything at all, that tax revenues collected were HIGHER after Bush cut all of our tax rates? First of all, are you aware of that fact? Second, if you are aware, then why don't you get the idea that tax revenues collected DO NOT always move proportionately with tax rates?
When a guy like Paul Ryan has the courage to say "we need to fix this", it's THE LIBERALS who respond by saying "YOU HATE OLD PEOPLE"!!!
What we need is consensus that we're on a disastrous track, but liberals keep saying we don't need to change medicare and social security. They are denying irrefuatble facts. Hence my often stated position that it's a mental disorder. No sane, rational person can say that we don't need major changes to medicare and social security.
Our current $14 trillion debt is PEANUTS compared to medicare, medicaid, and social security. Liberals, as a group, will not admit that. I don't know what planet they live on...
