How are the democrats trying? Certainly not by addressing the deficit.
In this regard there is no difference between the parties.
I would not plan on getting everything you think you are "entitled"

They ARE addressing the deficit by passing healthcare reform. I'm going to
take the CBO's word for it on this, not to mention most economists. You'll
forgive me if I don't take your word for it. As to 'getting everything',
I'm
not sure what that has to do with the previous sentence.

I certainly don't see any deficit reduction in this plan.

The CBO ?? stop it, I am hurting myself laughing. When have they EVER
been right?
They were off by a factor of 10 on their 10 year medicare projections
and you don't even want to talk about how bad they bungled the cost of
the Gulf War(s)

Hiding under the bed is not the answer but shedding your personal
debt and being prepared to live very cheaply is not a bad plan. You
better have the home to keep that bed, you want to hide under, paid
for.

Well, that's always a good plan.

Then you only have to be afraid that the government will tax you out
of it.


Property tax increases are always a possibility, although not very
politically viable. Sure. Anything is possible, including asteroids
destroying the earth.

A devastating meteor hit is about 50:1 in any given lifetime according
to the people who study these things, an extinction event is about
1000 to one in the same period and a globe altering event about 10,000
to one.
All way better than hitting a 5 number lottery ticket.

Property tax increases are almost a given when you look at the state
budgets


That's the agency that both sides uses. If you have another, have at it.
