Everything you need to know in one question

In this case, everything you need to know about DC attitudes about deficit reduction.

PHC* had a "Twitter town hall" today, Wednesday, and he opened it with this tweet:

In order to reduce the deficit, what costs would you cut and what investments would you keep?

So "cutting costs" is on the agenda for public discussion. Raising taxes on the rich and corporations is not.
