Yeah, a budget that institutes a phase out of Medicare, the gutting of Medicaid, the permanent extension of all the Bush tax cuts, and the cutting of the corporate tax rate is really going to fly. Nor do I think it will be a starting point for negotiations. The Republicans will never, ever agree to tax increases and Obama and the Dems aren't going to approve such drastic cuts when it won't even balance the budget for many years.
No doubt when they did in a non-existent hypothetical future, the GOP would take us back into mega deficits with more tax breaks for the wealthy.
