Cut, Cap & Balance

I've been watching the debates in the House and the Senate.  I have listened to the news.  The arguments that the Democrats are making is that what the Republicans want to "kill" the seniors and those less fortunate, not to mention the Democrats want to tax the "wealthy" more.  That "they should pay their fair share".

I researched the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" bill H. R. 2560 and it specifically states:

‘‘(b) EXEMPT FROM DIRECT SPENDING LIMITS.— Direct spending for the following functions is exempt from the limits specified in subsection (c): ‘‘(1) Social Security, function 650. ‘‘(2) Medicare, function 570. ‘‘(3) Veterans Benefits and Services, function 700. ‘‘(4) Net Interest, function 900."

‘‘(B) Section 255 of the Balanced Budget and Control Act of 1985 shall not apply to this section, except that payments for military personnel accounts (within subfunctional category 051), TRICARE for Life, Medicare (functional category 570), military retirement, Social Security (functional category 650), veterans (functional category 700), net interest (functional category 900), and discretionary appropriations shall be exempt."

‘‘(d) EXEMPT PROGRAMS.—Section 255 of the Balanced Budget and Control Act of 1985 shall not apply to this section, except that payments for military personnel accounts (within subfunctional category 051), TRICARE for Life, Medicare (functional category 570), military retirement, Social Security (functional category 650), veterans (functional category 700), and net interest (functional category 900) shall be exempt."

What the Democrats don't like is:
"requires that tax increases be approved by a two-thirds vote in both Houses of Congress for their ratification."

Now WHO is trying to "kill" the seniors and those less fortunate?
