4. The only thing Boehner wants now is a default- then he becomes a GOP hero. He is faking that

he wants a deal. It will hurt Obama, that's all they want.

9. What kind of cuts are we looking at to SS, Medicare and Medicaid?

10. The kind that people will scream bloody murder about.

Seriously, nobody knows the details BUT I think we can fully expect there will be measureable "cuts" in entitlements. I anticipate a gradual raising from 65 to 67. It won't be pretty around here... That's for sure. So here's a :hug: in advance.

11. Thanks for the hug!

12. Soooo...basically the shit the left has been warning you guys about for weeks

and that you've been telling us we're crazy/stupid/republicans for saying.

[jefferson_dem]

13. Not "you guys".

It's been obvious to me for weeks that, tragically, some sort of "cuts" in entitlements are imminent. The big questions are regarding the shape and degree of those cuts and the amount of offsets in revenues.
