I was watching some political crap today and they guy said even if we OK tax increases to everyone making over $250K a year, it will only raise about $80 billion. That's nothing. That won't help. It will only piss off rich people who will move their money overseas.
We have to make austerity cuts. It is the only way.
Make welfare a loan that has to be repaid and see how many people can make other living arrangements. Cut SS for people who didn't work during their lives and leave the people alone who earned it. Open more clinics for free medical care so all those folks can stay the fuck out of the emergency room when I actually need the emergency room. Do something about illegal immigration before they sink us.
It seems so easy from here, but I'm sure it gets complicated on the way to DC.
