Cut Entitlements Or Raise Taxes, Or Both (Demo)

On Erza Klein’s Wonkblog on May 16, 2012, Suzy Khimm writes:

“The line you often hear in Washington is that Republicans won’t talk taxes and Democrats won’t talk entitlements. The two parties, the thinking goes, are similarly irresponsible, albeit on opposite sides of the budget.

“But at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s 2012 Fiscal Summit, there was a clear difference between Democrats and Republicans: Democrats talked constantly about how they should be talking about entitlements. Republicans reiterated their position that they won’t talk taxes.”
