I think the President is right in saying he will not negotiate on the debt ceiling. I also think Mitch McConnell is right in saying It would be irresponsible not to negotiate on it. This my solution. The Democrats in the House and Senate demand an increase to 30% (still well below what a salaried person makes at the top income) on capital gains and carried interest. This will help pay for reinstating the cuts in SNAP and long term unemployment benefits and help pay down the deficit. If their side wants to wish for the moon so should we. I am tired of them demanding the moon and we demanding nothing.
Short diary, best I could do. Just wanted to make a point.
