I see that Woodward is STILL trying to prove his Republican bonifides with false equivelencies. Somehow, in Woodward world, a tax increase of less than 4% on income over 250k is just as much of a sacrifice as a construction worker having to wait another two year to get Medicare. Yes, changing the age will make the poor and middle class suffer, the tax hikes makes no one suffer, tax hikes brings in a lot of revenue age change brings in little revenue. But why do facts matter? People MUST suffer!

Yes, it'll hurt for a while, but we must let the Republicans drive us on off the fiscal cliff, rather than let them hold 98% of the American public hostage just for the richest 2%.
