I'm getting driven more Democrat as I hear more about these budget talks. The Republicans want to make sweeping cuts to social security and Medicaid and they staunchly refuse to "raise taxes on American job creators." In other words, they won't raise taxes on people who make more than 500,000 dollars a year. FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
It may be a slightly unfair characterization, but I can't help but feel like they are refusing to pay taxes themselves, or explain a tax hike to their golf buddies/campaign contributors.
Sorry, Grandma. You need to decide which pills are important. We don't want to put a damper on the economic recovery by making the Hollingworths cancel their trip to the Caymans this year. Pish posh.
