It just hit me why we see things differently. Other than GGG (I think), are all of you guys litigators?

Good point. Litigators are used to kicking things down the road, and from that experience we realize it's a shitty way to deal with problems.
But next time will be different, I'm sure. Next time, Congress will work out a package of entitlement cuts and tax increases that they can all agree to. Next time, with the pressure of an imminent election, Rs everywhere will be willing to forsake Grover Norquist and say, "I, too, can vote for tax increases -- including cutting stupid subsidies and deductions -- for the good of the country, because it is obviously needed, and because it will cause my political counterparts to compromise."
