I will encourage my Representative, as well as other state Representatives to vote NO on any long-term debt reduction that does not have 2012 cuts of at least $500 billion (without additional spending).
We got duped into passing TARP on a phoney crisis and wasted $1 trillion dollars.
Even $1 in increased taxes will spell doom for the Republicans in 2012. This is not about the debt ceiling (Obama and Reid voted AGAINST raising the debt ceiling in 2006), it is about breaking the Republican base in 2012.
Stand firm. NO long-term agreement. If the "crisis" is now, then the solution must be now.
Personally, I don't care about the Asian markets opening on Monday, but I do care about the country we are leaving to my children and grandchildren.
