And by the way, if you want to deal with deficits, it’s spending that needs to be addressed, not trying to balance the budget by “taxing the rich” or some other nonsense.

Why? Why isn’t increasing revenue part of it?

If you keep spending 25 % of GDP, well, even you should be able to figure that out…

Sure. We do need to cut spending. We also need to raise taxes. The spending we really need to control is medical spending. You don’t do that by just saying that seniors can fuck off and attempt to purchase unobtainable health insurance on the open market, like Ryan’s moronic plan does.
