You're confused... as usual. Yes, I posted about the desire to get spending under control. YOU responded by bringing up Soc Sec and Medicare.

News flash - spending can be brought under control by injecting a bit of fiscal discipline - something that currently is absent on both sides of the aisle. All the Dems want to do is blame and resort to scare tactics when the subject of spending reductions come up.

Tell you what Finn - if you're serious about this topic, then get active. You voted for Biden, whose spending appetite knows no bounds. Tell me all about the Dem candidates that you support who have a plan to reduce spending and/or inject fiscal discipline into the Federal gov't. We don't have a revenue problem - the Fed gov't sets records almost every quarter these days for tax revenue. Show me someone who has a workable plan on the Dem side and who has made substantive proposals to do so. Hell, I might even support them of they're serious about it.
