If Republicans had agreed to cutting the bloated defense budget without also making cuts to SS & MC, the WH wouldn't have had to compromise. It's probably right there in the link you refuse to post.
The link is posted in my last post.
What? Are you surprised Obama is this much of a back stabber?
John Conyers said a year go Obama was going to agree to cuts in SS.
I posted that and of course Obama just reenforced his position last week.
Indeed that would help but NOBODY wants to take the lead and do it.
You let me know when the Dems get behind this and pass raising the cap. Nobody believes a politician when they simply claim they are for something.
I'm not predicting or hopeful Dems will get behind anything. Voters in this country are the most ignorant, lazy, apathetic, lemmings in the entire World.
They are about to get what they deserve. Cuts in SS, so the rich can horde more Billions.
Rich elites bought the politicians, bought access to mass media, and have 70% of voters completely fooled.
If poor and middle class Americans had an ounce of sense, the GOP and backstabbers like Obama would not exist in politics.
We are 16 trillion in debt. The "wealthy" paid 318 billion in taxes in 2009. Moderately raising their taxes is what exactly? 10% more? That brings in $32 billion more.
The deficit is appx 1.4 trillion or so. The current argument, even taking into consideration questionable accounting practices, is a $1 trillion cut over a decade. Not a year, but decade.
That still leaves a massive yearly deficit and continues to grow the $16 trillion every year. No, that will not address the issue.

Politicians themselves haven't bought off many of these votes?

But hasn't this all been covered already?
You're just talking nonsense.
I posted the NYT budget calculator. It's drawn up by objective experts on the budget, using in part, numbers from the CATO institute, a right wing think tank.
It's so common of right wingers to give us these talking points as you do, (scary one liners, out of context, not giving the entire picture) to paint a dire picture, and make people think it's hopeless.
