"We are in some serious deep shit when it comes to fiscal matters and all the politicians are talking about is new ways to spend more money we don't have."

I don't disagree with that statement but I hardly see how the government giving more breaks to those that need them the least and cutting off those that need help is going to solve the problem. Cut the pork, you cut the money being spent. Get money out of politics as much as possible and you cut the advantage to the rich over the working class. Limit the number of days they can campaign and make them work for the days they are paid instead of work campaigning while being paid to govern and you might get a Congress that actually knows what they are signing and who actually works to solve a problem. There are ways to fix without destroying a whole class of people and uplifting the fewest among us.
