2. So the tax cuts are the most important thing?

Not telling them to take Social Security off the table because it doesn't impact the deficit?
Not telling them to take Medicare and Medicaid off the table?
Not telling them to cut defense spending?
Not telling them to expand and strengthen the social safety net?

Just the tax cuts. Got it.

And for the record, yes, I know $2k for a middle or low income family is a lot and I'm not dismissing that. I'm just finding it very frustrating that what's being fought over the loudest are tax cuts.

It's just incredibly disheartening how far right the debate has shifted.
