At stake, in addition to the mortgage-interest deductions, are child tax credits and the ability of employees to pay their portion of their health-insurance tab with pretax dollars.

It's annoying to see those mentioned, they only really affect the middle class. Poor people don't have enough to matter, and the wealthy have them phased out, so you're really talking about Joe Taxpayer when you get rid of them.

Worse, the article mentions this:
Committee officials have also focused on the $700 billion in annual defense spending, which accounts for more than half of domestic discretionary spending. Critics say the government could cut some of the $400 billion spent on outside contractors I'm sorry, but that's the shit I find fucking retarded. The amount of money we spend on private contractors is rediculous. I think it's a bad idea to have anyone representing the United States in a millitary conflict that doesn't have to answer to the chain of command.
