Your latest reminder that Republicans do not care about the deficit and are a bunch of unhinged loonies that believe the in voodoo economics that state that cutting revenue creates more revenue.
And the article mentions that the single greatest impasse in budget debate is that Republicans refuse to raise revenue, and Democrats refuse to reduce or cut the safety net. But therein lies the fundamental difference - there are plenty of people all over this country (corporations too, since they now seem to think they are afforded the same rights as an individual) that can afford and should pay substantially more in taxes. On the other hand, you have a significantly greater amount of people who can not afford basic healthcare or a decent standard of living in retirement. I will leave it up to you to decide which one of these groups ought to be the ones to sacrifice a little in a sane, moral world.
And yes, I realize that our country is neither of those things.
