The GOP is demanding entitlement cuts for a raising of the debt ceiling, does this mean that the GOP will finally say how much they want to cut entitlement spending?
This is one of the fundamental reasons that I can deal with libertarians versus conservatives. Libertarians are usually up front about their intentions. Their ultimate goal is to destroy SS and Medicare because they don't believe in them. Conservatives, the cowardly pusses that they are, pretend that they want to "save" SS and Medicare, though they don't really believe in these programs.
Will the Democrats ever say how they are going to fund these programs?
Increased income taxes on the wealthy. ie Bush cuts need to expire for $250K income earners.
Close corporate tax loopholes
Major cuts in defense.
Medicare reforms that target cuts to medical providers, and some sensible patient care rationing.
Cut foreign aid, especially to Israel
Cut farm subsidies.
Eliminate Social Security income tax cap on high wage earners, raise payroll tax on all to make up the remainder of the difference.

Radically sane ideas. Never going to fly with the GOP or even a lot of Democrats.
