Instead, Senate Democrats are proposing to stabilize borrowing through sharp cuts at the Pentagon and other government agencies, as well as $2 trillion in new taxes, primarily on families earning more than $1 million year, according to a copy of the plan obtained by The Washington Post.
With debt-reduction talks under way between Obama and congressional leaders, Senate Democrats are unlikely to adopt the blueprint. However, it has gained broad support among those eager to chart a path to solving the nation’s budget problems without making politically painful cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
“The very strong feeling was we needed to get this into the conversation, because it provides an alternative view,” said a Senate Democrat familiar with the blueprint, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not been publicly released. “What’s striking is how modest the changes need to be to get us back on track.”

The math is simple. When your 'out-go', exceeds your 'income', then your 'up-keep' is your down fall!

Another question would be do they have marshmellows instead of *****?
VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE AND ELECT GOD FEARING, PATRIOTIC, AMERICANS WHO WERE BORN AND RAISED IN AMERICA BY TWO AMERICAN CITIZEN PARENTS. WE NEED PEOPLE IN THE CONGRESS WHO KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE MONEY, TO PAY BILLS AND TO RAISE CHILDREN AND WHO ARE PRO-AMERICAN AND NOT PRO GLOBALIST OR PRO ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.
