Looks pretty scary, but then, so is our current situation. Honestly, if we are to make any real headway, it's going to take cuts along the lines of those being proposed. I'm a bit surprised to see tax increases even being discussed, however, as most of the new legislators got voted in on a promise that taxes would not be increased. IMO, they may be necessary.

The one thing I would REALLY like to see included is a repeal of the Bush tax cuts for the rich and corporations. Those groups make out FAR too well under this plan. Keep in mind that Social Security is of no real concern to the rich. The next several generations of their families will be set for retirement, with or without it.
