At the outset of 2013, instead of small tax increases on the very rich and payroll tax holiday, Democratic simplification of tax code. Raise retirement age, close tax loopholes, especially on oil companies. Update social security to 21st century. Privatize a portion of social security, but raise the cap on the rich so that the loss of revenue is made up for. Repeal the employer mandate portion of Obamacare and create IRA and Health savings accounts.
Instead of sequestration and budget shutdowns, plan should of been passed in March 2013. If not Hilary will have to pass it under Dem controlled Congress.
GOP can't go around like under Dubya, and say class warfare. Truth be told is no matter if it is a GOP or Dem version, we are indeed living under Bowles-Simpson economy.
I agreed with mostly everything you said except for the GOP saying class warfare like its useless rhetoric. Why the GOP is saying that is the Dems keep on talking about the 1% or the so-called rich making most of the money or economic gains and that a milionares tax has to be placed on the 1% or the so-called rich. That's just not gonna happen.
