And today Mitch McConnell said the deficit is alarming and they need to look at Social Security and Medicare reform as a means of fixing it. In short, they created the debt now they are blaming Democrats for it and are going to try to use that as an excuse. If they maintain control of both houses after the midterms look for Obamacare to be back on the chopping block along with Social Security and Medicare. Let's also not forget the part of the tax cut that triggers cuts from Medicaid to offset increased debt if we fall below 3% GDP annually.
