Not impossible if you vote for conservatives. Impossible only because liberals would rather get re-elected (by promising not to cut anything) than roll up their sleeves and do what unfortunately needs to be done.
Spence, it's not easy to look someone in the eye and tell them that they're going to get less than they thought. No one likes to hear that.
Paul Ryan says that's what's required to solve this. You seem to agree by recognizing the need for sacrifice. Your fellow liberals are the huge majority of politicians who will not take that path.
The way I see it, on this issue, liberals either...
(1) deny that we are in the hole by tens of trillions, or
(2) admit that we are in the hole by that much, but don't feel compelled to address it, or
(3) admit that the problem warrants fixing, but they have a more "humane" solution than Paul Ryan's
Which is it? If it's #3, fine. But let's hear a
solution that's better than Paul Ryan's plan, I don't want to hear personal attacks, because that solves nothing.
Spence, which do you think it is?
Calling Paul Ryan a supporter of social Darwinism (which is precisely what Obama did) does exactly nothing to address this massive threat to our prosperity.
