I’m sure our representatives are hearing from lots of constituents about avoiding the March 1 sequester deadline. Like many others, I am tired of hearing people blaming each other.
I am also tired of many people insisting that we must accomplish reducing the deficit and the national debt with no tax increases, no changes in Social Security or Medicare, no reductions in defense spending, etc.
I have been a Realtor for more than 20 years. I think it’s ridiculous that our national association, along with all the state and local subgroups, keeps insisting that there be no changes to the mortgage interest deduction, even though it arguably will affect my business and the housing industry as a whole if it is modified.
I get Social Security yet I am fine with changing the way cost-of-living increases are calculated.
