Stop using the term "spending cuts" as though it can only mean cuts to various social insurance programs. Start talking spending cuts on subsidies to industries already outrageously profitable - oil, private health insurance, pharmaceuticals, as well as our military industrial complex which is soaking up far too much of our treasure.
Why is this important?
We do need spending cuts. We also need a healthy social contract. Stop chipping away at only one end - the ability of working people to live healthy lives while continuing to pour our tax money into wealthy industries which do not need any help.
