You put that well, in describing the democrat party.

As to what DeMint says, until I can see the wording of the law he's referring to, I don't know that it applies to SS any more than it would apply to anything and everything else that is in the spending bills that have been passed.

As to being afraid, my only concern would be whether this will be the point in time that the entitlement class takes the step of trying to enslave the producers involuntarilly, as opposed to the voluntary way the producers hand over the product of their work now.

If things don't reach a crisis point this year, I'd expect that it will just happen somewhere down the line, because I don't think the political will will ever exist to do anything more than kick the can down the road until there's no more road.

I've actually been picking my own peas at a nearby farm. I stir fry them in a little olive oil w/ garlic.

Recipe sounds good.

I eat my peas with honey,
I've done so all my life.
They do taste kind of funny,
but it keeps them on the knife.

I prefer to hope for the best, but be prepared for what looks likely to hit. When the tornado sirens start going off, I at least start paying attention to the clouds instead of assuming God will deal with it. I don't presume to know what His will is.

What happened to Camp David this weekend?

There isn't a golf course at Camp David.

“Has the president submitted a budget to Congress? NO! Has Congress written a budget? NO!”

The Republican House has passed a budget for FY2012.

The Democrat Senate has not.

You are engaged in wishful thinking.
The “plan B” that Durbin wants is the McConnell cave, that gives the power to the president to dictate the spending cuts.

Any other Plan B would be better, but would not be what the Democrats want. So they will dismiss those as bad ideas.
