Reply #59: We don't need proposals

[skepticscott]

and we don't need a context-free list of suggested cuts, and rants designed to appeal to progressives. While viscerally satisfying, they solve nothing. We need a budget. A fully realized, detailed and realistic budget, showing exactly where the income increases and programs cuts will come, in order to eliminate the deficit and start paying down the debt. And that budget has to take full account of the effect on the economy of taking increased tax revenues and sending them to those holding US debt. Until Saunders produces that, on paper, for everyone to see, this is nothing but political grandstanding.
