We can’t tax our way out of it. We have to cut spending. Yet if we do that, democrats lose power. Whatever deal democrats are willing to cut, it doesn’t include losing power.

We are going to be Greece’

No, I think we will be a lot worse than Greece ever dreamed of being. The violence could get really, really ugly.

This is what happens when the can hits a big wall and you can’t kick it any farther.

Yeah, is this the same David Brooks who had a hard-on for the crease in Hussein’s pant leg?

He was wrong then, and he’ll be wrong again.

American greatness will survive and defeat the forces of Hussein and his cult. No thanks to David Brooks.

If it were up to me there would be across the board cuts to every dept.Elimination of duplicating depts and outright elimination of others.There would be no welfare checks or foodstamps going out anymore, community soup kitchens serving 2 meals a day from 12pm-8:30pm and allotments of dry beans,powdered milk, rice and other staples would be given instead.Social workers displaced but he elimination could take these jobs at a much lower hourly rate and no union of course.

Brooks has been leading us toward becoming a Greece all his life..
even when Shields pissed on his leg and told him the rain was warm today.. on Lehrer(Pbs)..

Brooks would be a cretin.. a retard.. if he didn’t do it on purpose..
Brooks is part of “the Problem”... a democrat tool.. pistol whipping him would be too kind..

If “YOU” have too much grace for that.. “Step on his shoe” hardly.. and twist.. looking him in the eyes..

Trust me, they will reach a last minute deal AFTER “the one” makes a trip to Capitol Hill to make them see how important it is.

The GOP will cave.

This is theater.

Obama will be the hero.

I guess the crisp crease in Barry’s pants didn’t mean what Brooks thought...

A deal kicks the can down what little is left of a very short road. No deal means open warfare in D.C.

The simple truth is that the productive people in this country can no longer afford the many and vast layers of government or the services government provides. Once those services are cut and they will have to be cut. All hell breaks out. Better prepare fast cause the stuff and the fan are in close proximity.

The problem is there are politicians trying to cut that deal. Put the same amount of (knowledgable) citizens in a room and a deal will be reached in a couple of days.

Anyone with half a brain could have predicted the failure of the Super Committee. Both sides will not move from their positions enough to make a dent in the financial situation.

Rino or not, B rooks is right on this one. No deal. And they will finesse over the projected auto-cuts somehow.

It will prove for once and all that the politicians can’t do this job. And if not our elected officials, who will?

I hate the GOP. They agree to asinine deals from the Democrats that any Freeper will tell you is doomed to fail, then whine when it fails.

We need street fighters. I am tired of capitulation.
