Greenberg is sometimes on point and brilliant, however, this time he is simply snarky and ill informed.

When the country was headed over that decade's Fiscal Cliff, then known as The Trainwreck, the White House explained that it just couldn't afford to keep the national monuments open in Washington under these perilous fiscal circumstances. So the myriads of tourists who'd come to the nation's capital to pay their respects to the Washington Monument or Lincoln Memorial were told that those sites were being closed down -- and they howled on cue. Just as we're now expected to.

Earth to Paul: this isn't the Faux Clinton/Gingrich Shutdown of the 1990s. This one is REAL.

Because this nation refuses to address the fact that Entitlements are breaking this nation's back, the sequestration cuts to Defense (18% of the budget yet taking 50% of the cuts), the tax raises, the global repercussions to the US Dollar, and the millions of job losses that will come now are not imaginary.

Thanks for the snarkiness Paul, all the same.

IMHO Greenberg’s brilliance burned out some time ago, he needs to hang up the pen.

what happens when the “obamaphones” are disconnected?

What happens when the rural area moochers no longer have EBT handouts to snag?

What happens when city zombies start to blame politicians, block captains, and reporters?
