Time for the government to eat its peas.
The people have had enough of them.
Deal with it.
No, Ubama didn't say "peas". He said "piece". Ubama wants the Republicans to "eat their piece", like a suicidal cop.
There is a maneuver I have not heard discussed.
Why not raise the debt ceiling, but define the amount and the time period to effect something less than the instantaneous 1.4Trillion cut.
In other words, raise it 500B and say that has to last 5 months. Then in 5 months another 500B for 5 months. This is a 300-400Billion cut in FY2012.
In other words, it doesn’t have to be black or white. Allocate them 500B for 5 mos and tell them to stretch it as they will.
