Who cares? The problem is not so much the deficit. . .it is the continuous INCREASE in deficit!
And, by the way, if the deficit went back down to the 2008 level, . . . it would be lower than the 2008 level, due to inflation!
And, yes, if we can get the economy back to a good level of growth, if we cut down tax loopholes for income over $450,000, or limit the deduction allowed to $50,000 a year, if we cut the waste, and if we trim (or cut in some cases) corporate welfare, and if we CUT defense by at least 20% we can trim the deficit down significantly!
Why. . .Do you think that the only way to take care of the deficit is to cut medicare and medicaid, and to privatize social security?
Do you have a better plan? Apparently none of your friend in the GOP did. . .in fact, do you realize that both Boehner AND Ryan voted YEA last night?
Why. . .
