http://majority.fm/ Just like many of the country's most prominent political figures, Chris Christie is insisting that the public must get used to sacrifice. This means giving up some of the benefits, like Social Security and Medicare, that they have come to rely upon. The shared sacrifice might also mean that middle-income people have to pay higher taxes. Telling a country that is suffering from near double-digit unemployment that it must get used to sacrifice might seem a bit strange, but polite Washington circles have never had much connection to the lives of normal people. via DEAN BAKER http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/12/19/shared_sacrifice_wheres_wall_streets_share/
