What everyone needs to realize is that realistically we are going to need tax increases in some areas and spending cuts in others to get the debt under control.

And that’s why I laugh whenever I hear a Republican talk about how they’re taking the deficit/debt crisis “seriously” as they take turns fellating Paul Ryan and his “Plan.” Said “Plan” is basically the GOP doubling down on every failed policy of the last 3 decades, from tax cuts to “reforms” that are nothing more than further privatization of government programs, promising that “this time,” it’ll all work out in our favor.

You know, like those people who keep arguing that there’s nothing inherently wrong with communism, it’s just that it’s never been implemented by “the right people.”
