Either/Or

I hope President Obama will keep hitting what I think was his strongest point in his Jobs Act speech. That is, either/or. We can have no new taxes ever for wealthy people or we can save Medicare. But not both. No new taxes for wealthy people or save Pell Grants. But not both. What you plug in these slots isn’t really the point. The point is trade-offs. Nothing is in isolation. What are your priorities? Either/or.
