While the "Fiscal Cliff" looms..............

I agree major cuts are needed. Start with ending the drug war. The white house just offered billions in cuts to stream line the waste in Medicare? Boehner offered nothing.

There it is again...the GOP "offered nothing". OMG, they agreed to INCREASE TAXES. That IS what they are offering. Negotiating from NO tax increase, to a rather large tax increase.

Again, the White House says they will make a goal to save $400 billion in Medicare, but won't put that in writing. They want to leave that discussion until next year. I guess we should just trust them...

The medicare "cuts" are fake. Just as the double-counted medicare "savings" in Obamacare was fake.

Fake cuts and new taxes sufficient to cut Obama's deficit by a whole tenth.

That's the White House' joke.
