I’m with you on that. I said the same thing yesterday. I’m tired of the GOP establishment selling us down the river. I’m done with them for good. They haven’t got any money from me in almost 3 years and they will NEVER get another penny. This was the last straw. No more chances. Done. Period.
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.
