For some reason, there is a belief that we should accept this carp sandwich as a great beginning because the very same people who have spent us into oblivion are now going to get our fiscal house in order. Never mind that the cuts are nonexistent (especially when you factor in even the slightest bit of inflation - which has a really great chance of increasing over 10 years, dontcha think?) but the simplest act of just legislating no baseline increase next year would have lobbed 9 trillion off, immediately. Additionally, the 1% plan wasn't even considered! Suddenly, there are many who believe the same Congress that couldn't manage to stand on terra firma and say no are now going to do that with the help of the shopaholic democrats because they're now a "super" Congress.
Finally, they just reached into our pockets and gave Obama TRILLIONS more to blow on special interests and couldn't even make him responsible for it before the next election. Yea, those against this are ignorant, alright.
Agreed
Some of us are tired of being lied to or being told that it’s “the best we can expect”. BS! If our founders adopted that way of thinking we wouldn’t exist today.
Some of us expect to elect people who will ACTUALLY represent us and go to Washington to do as they say they will, which is the will of the people.
Some of us expect real results.
Days of compromise are over. Let the Tea Party be that which will save this Republic for all of us. They are our only hope at this point.
