There is only one way out of this mess.

Citizens for Enacting The Simpson-Bowles Plan

The American people should demand that both sides adopt the latest Simpson-Bowles Plan.

Enough of this insanity.

Sequestration will cost 2.14 million jobs, study says

Both sides are behaving like Kindergartners.

Enough of this - no more "Cliffs", no more "Deadlines", no more manufactured theater.

Sequester risks U.S. security: Simpson, Bowles

If both sides would simply adopt even a slightly modified portion of this plan, this would be over - and our nation could look forward to long term economic growth and our military security would not be gutted.

It's not perfect, but it is the best hope for getting the US out of this absolute partisan mess. Even the Canadians of both parties have said our government has lost its mind.

Even if it is true that the Simpson-Bowles plan is the best-case alternative for “solving” our fiscal crisis, imagining that the American people are going to en masse get behind it requires a tin ear to how completely lost the people are.

Can you re-name it the Kardashian Plan?

Obama is going to eviscerate the military regardless of what any Republican tries to do about it. He won. He will be president for most of the next four years. He hates anything military. He is going to decimate our nuclear arsenal, our navy ships, our air force airplanes, and our ground forces. Nothing can stop him. We have to learn to live with it. At least with the sequester, we get a few other cuts, as well.

Disagree. The welfare state is unsustainable. Kicking the can down the road will not solve our long term problems. We just added a third entitlement program, Obamacare, that will just hasten the bankruptcy of this country.

If the ‘latest Simpson-Bowles Plan’ has a tax increase, it is just another bad plan. One thing needs to happen, manage cost.

Tax increases have been shown to hurt the economy of those in the private sector who do have to manage cost.
