While the Senate and House versions of the highly unpopular GOP tax bill are being reconciled, it's important to remember that the two have one thing in common: adding significantly to the national debt. This may seem counterintuitive for fiscal conservatives, but it's the perfect cover for the GOP's real agenda of cutting the social programs that almost every American relies on.

I agree with the author of the above "analysis", but I do have a question:
Obama ad-Dajjal added $9 trillion to the national debt in eight years, so why are we so concerned if the current GOP tax plan will add $1 trillion in ten years?
Congress and former presidents had PLENTY of time and LOTS of opportunities to balance the budget AND preserve our social safety net. But they REFUSED to do so. Why?
And why the hell should we believe anything they say now?
Axe the military if we have to, but DO NOT cut Social Security, Medicare, and/or Medicaid.
