Neither party has the guts to admit that the cuts necessary to even begin reducing the national deficit will cause another recession or worse. It has gone too far. The only way it can be solved is massive reductions in military and social security, medicare and medicaid.
If you reduce the current ongoing deficit of 1.4 trillion by 100 billion per year as purposed by the Republicans, it will take 256 years to balance the books. God help us.
