That's the nature of the business.
I guess yould have to identify the candidates in your area and go the their websites for the info you seek.

They vote with their pocket books. There is nothing more complicated than that.

>They consequently take aim mainly at cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
This is pure speculation by Forbes in their 18 month old article. The cite zero sources.
The WAPO article is more of the same. Debt ceiling threats have been going on for as long as I can remember. They always cave. both sides, always. The fact is that spending does need to be cut and social security is one area I think both tribes can agree, is off the table. We could eliminate a few worthless departments and all associated staff as a start.
Another thing to think about is the fact that democrats have been using that particular scare tactic for a very long time. It has never come true and most people now recognize it for what it is. Bull shit.
This one's good
>It’s true that Social Security needs to be reformed before the Social Security Trust Fund—the amount of money in reserves—runs out, which is projected to happen around 2034 due to declining birth rates after the baby boom period. If this were to happen, it would mean seniors would only receive roughly 77% of the benefits they’re due to get after that date. But there are ways to address that problem, such as by raising the payroll tax rate.
While it does need reform, there is no "trust fund" and there never has been. It's an accounting gimmick stuffed with IOU's. The simple math is at the end...there are not enough workers in todays workforce to cover the benefits. SO...big tax hike coming to cover it or they just keep printing more money until the whole thing just collapses.

Would you mind sourcing that for me? I can't find it. I did find the most recent Republican study comittee report (guidlines really) here and it says nothing at all about those cuts you mentioned.

You forgot that is a democrat lie.
It's really eye opening that I get down votes for "affordable energy, secure borders, peace, Jobs, low inflation"
It lets us know where your head is at.

Reply to Early voting? Secretary of state candidates disagree on whether it’s right for Connecticut. by jr_reddit
Here's something else to consider.
Let's say early voting is all above board. One person, one vote.
Someboday has to count that vote. What if that somebody doesn't like the vote and destroys the ballot? Then does so on a grand scale (even one is too many).
Again I say, why take the chance?

Well you just said it. If Early voting is absentee voting then nothing more needs to be done.
Sorted. Thank you. :)

Yes but, why? I have yet to see a compelling reason. Every other state doing it is not a good reason.
Can I vote in April if November just doesn't work for me?

Then...you gotta get those pesky guns from criminals. Good luck.
So, one yes vote for early voting and one no vote.
You still have not demonstrated a need for it. Just because?

Really? There's tons of it. All you have to do is look.
Why do you want to increase the opportunity for fraud?
Here's one, I can go on all day
On the flip side, perhaps you can demonstrate a need?

Absentee ballots cover that.
anything else allows for fraud. Anyone, regardless of party affiliation, can stuff the ballot box. If you disagree you have much greater faith in humanity than I do.
