Six-edged Rhetoric.

Not just to continue a theme,(a likely coincidence)
but it involves the dynamics of progress,
and I don't mean the apparently belated addition(see scrollover v. lede).

Six Things Everybody Knows About Deficits ...
That Are Completely Untrue
Which I rephrase as truths:

1.) Current and future spending are not the problem with the defecit, except for paying for our history.

2.) Social Security is not a big deal to fix(separately), but could be impacted by the budget and other decisions.

3.) Austerity and investment are different stories, that both have an impact on the budget and winning the future as well as the now.

4.) Concessions should not be trickle down but incentives should be target up.

5.) Wall Street is not fixed enough to be that big or permanent a part of the solution.

6.) Social Security is not on the same budget table as Medicare and Medicaid and calling them "entitlements" is misleading, and means testing or tax changes [*] could address their impact on our economy.
