Every freaking poll out there shows the vast majority of the public wants the debt under control...now. We’ve got the ability to hold Congressional Dems feet to the fire and make a good deal without President Fool Sucka.
Maybe I will never win this debate on here but as long as the GOP is offering up only $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years, this is not a DEM/GOP issue.
As Rand Paul said, the DEMS want to cut nothing and the GOP wants to cut next to nothing. I view the GOP position as the most disingenuous, leading people to believe the GOP is doing something about it when in fact it is not.
Nothing short of actually solving the problem will win me over. If Boehner proposes $1 trillion in cuts this fiscal year, I will be swayed to the GOP position. Short of that, it is nothing more than pandering and political grandstanding.
No thinking person should be swayed by charade. Nobody should be waving partisan pom poms until the this very serious problem is taken seriously.

I must confess that I watch this whole thing sort of as an outsider. I sincerely do not think it matters what they do. It’s too late. We are like a bus going 50 mph toward a concrete wall 30 feet in front of us and we are debating how we should apply the brakes. It really doesn’t matter HOW we apply the brakes. We’re gonna hit pretty much at full speed.
That is why I’m only marginally interested in what the congress is doing right now. I’m more interested in getting the last of my stuff out of Seattle and into my new farm in central Kentucky. My future really depends on how self sufficient we can be there as opposed to what the clowns in DC do.
