Raising the debt ceiling...

Republicans seemingly want to cut medi-care and social security, democrats want to let the Bush tax cuts expire (I HATE that the media refers to that as raising taxes) no, it's returning tax levels to where they were previously FFS.

So what? Cut 'em. Why not?

"But Tiki . . . they paid into the system and they deserve to get what they paid into! And don't forget, they were promised this. You're mean!"

You're mean!!!

Finally, a straight answer. I'd LIKE a compromise but I don't have a problem with cuts to medicare and s.s. largely because my husband and I won't have to rely on those (we have other retirement savings).
