Bipartisan complicity planned selling out ordinary households long ago. It's coming incrementally in stages. 

Social programs will be sacrificed on the alter corporate welfare, super-rich elitism, and America's addiction to permanent wars.

Crushing new burdens will be imposed on people least able to bear them. Poverty will grow exponentially. So will unemployment, homelessness, hunger, despair and public rage.

Instead of prepping readers and viewers for what's coming, The Times and other media scoundrels suppress what they most need to know and how to fight back. The worst of times awaits.

A Final Comment

Planned cuts are supposed to include domestic and military ones. Don't be fooled. America's war machine will be generously funded annually.

Military spending cuts will be for administration, inefficiencies, weapons Pentagon officials don't want in lieu of others they won't sacrifice and new ones planned, force reductions on least important overseas bases, and veterans benefits most of all.

Retirees will pay higher healthcare premiums and co-pays. Overall benefits will be cut.
