Also, we need to get the entitlements / Social Security system under better fiscal control. I'm willing to take my fair share of cuts, along with everyone else. Overall, we all benefit from a financially sound system and conversely, we all lose if it goes bust actuarially.

When both Dems and Reps are in agreement on the "Doc fix" you can be 99.9% sure they passed cost to next generation. As far as social security most people want to believe trust fund is solid until 2035 when in fact there is no trust fund just governent promise to tax next generation. SS paying out more than it takes in now with line going straight up now. My hat is off to Christie for having courage to even suggest system is already bankrupt.
