Prominent politicians from both major parties are declaring: "we all must share in the sacrifice in order to achieve 'deficit reduction'. What a load of horse manure! Sure something must be done, but why should the poor and vulnerable be the ones to endure the onus of those cuts. It isn't the poor and vulnerable who caused this mess. It was politically expedient decisions such as two unnecessary 'endless wars', a bloated secret shadow government known as the Department of Homeland Security, and tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and corporate welfare for corporations eager to send American jobs abroad to save money and increase their so-called bottom line, while destroying the American Dream and the economy to boot. Likewise, Wall Street and what others call "banksters" continue their bonuses and lavish compensation packages for those at the top, economy be damned. Why isn't it that those who caused this mess foot the bill or the penalty to fix things? Also, if politicians, especially those on the right wing are so eager to cut benefits and services to those who truly need them (poor, homeless, sick, vulnerable, etc.) why aren't they willing to cut their own pay and undeserved benefits? Perhaps in trying to 'fix' things, they will instead destroy the lives of poor constituents and the nation they claim to serve.
