Ted, I don't expect you to respond intelligently, since you seem obsessed with trying to draw out a "gotcha" answer. But if I had it my way, I would freeze spending. If the debt ceiling needs to be raised, so be it, as long as spending is frozen solid. I see. You are willing to raise the debt ceiling but you want spending frozen. All payments to SS, to Medicare, to the miiltary, to disability, to the Foodstamp program etc......are to be frozen...at least temporarily. Is that correct? After that, then we can figure out how to live within our means. And that means choosing priorities. If we have to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, so be it. If we have to deny SS recipients their cost-of-living-adjustments, so be it. Or even reduce the benefits per recipient, since more people will be entering SS than leaving it. But you want to make sure the rich keep their tax cuts, right? And if we have to roll back ObamaCare because it increases the budget too much, so be it. Even if it means people die sooner because of inadequate health care.....is that right?
