The deal promotes Republican tax cut philosophy, which is a proven failure.TOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464117691722213136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-78708589800617734272011-08-01T19:23:16.500-05:002011-08-01T19:23:16.500-05:00I hope you are watching Lawrence tonight, he laid ...I hope you are watching Lawrence tonight, he laid out the whole deal...the triggers, if they have to be enacted WILL NOT include SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment compensation.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303260031729868857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21976234.post-45095250566366862352011-08-01T19:15:45.064-05:002011-08-01T19:15:45.064-05:00first w, the spending cuts do not happen until 201...first w, the spending cuts do not happen until 2013, this is after the bush tax cuts AUTOMATICALLY expire. There is NO WAY they will be extended. <br /><br />SS and Medicare are not on the table, Obama has said OVER and OVER there will be no cuts in benefits, no cuts that will hurt those whose lives depend on these programs. ONLY providers will see the changes to Medicare.
