Howard Dean: Let's Drive Over the Fiscal Cliff

[Dustlawyer]

21. I do not agree with cutting SS, Medicaid/Medicare one bit. The middle class has been stagnant

For at least 25 years while the rich have continuously done extremely well. My balance approach would be to cut the military industrial complex by 50%, increase taxes on the wealthy and cut loopholes, institute a trade tax on Wall Street, negotiate RX drug prices down for Medicaid/Medicare and put the savings in SS. I would also withhold for SS starting again at $250,000 on up. Too bad reality enters the picture and we cannot come close to doing these things due to rampant corruption of our politicians and our political process.
