I think it has more to do with spending money we don't have. If you can't get the votes to raise taxes ( and I don't accept the premise that.would increase tax revenue ) then you must cut. Period. We need to leave within our means. Raising the debt ceiling for the 79th time and expecting this time to be different and for spending to go down is insane. Literally. That is the definition of insanity.
You mean obama- care is law? They can't even get people registrred cause sites are broken, why fund something that is broken? How the heck are people going to come up with 80g's for coverage using obama care?
