Much more cutting is required to balance the budget.

There's simply no balancing the budget without both raising taxes and cutting social services.

We should, of course, be efficient with our money. Any dollar we can save is a good thing but until I hear someone talk about raising taxes and cutting social spending I'm not going to take serious the idea that we're trying to balance the budget.

They are cutting social spending and healthcare spending. It wont offset tax cuts for the rich, but the cruelty is the point and watching people suffer is fun to republicans.
