Cowards

Memo to elected Republicans and Democrats in DC: you are cowards! Your pathetic attempts to distract us with your small-idea debate (35% vs 39% tax rate on top 2% of earners, mythical tax reform, etc) is exacerbating the problem. By your own estimates, the ideas currently being considered (by both camps) cover very little of the annual shortfall. Your “economic plans” are pure fantasy. Quit playing it safe and nibbling around the edges. 65% of the entire federal budget is in entitlements (up from 45% in 1990). It's non-partisan...both parties obviously support these programs to one degree or another. It’s time to find some courage and tackle entitlement reform…while we still have options. Get on it.
