What is your feeling on the "Debt Stalemate"?

How many times was the government shut down during G W Bush's administration? Selective memory is a common tactic in DC. Practiced by both parties whenever it is convenient for them. As for the social security check and the like, the republicans really don't care. They want to put an end to anythying that doesn't put more money in the pockets of them and thier cronies anyway. While at the same time encouraging anyone who does have money to invest in as many overseas ventures as possible. Even the investment firms that handle peoples money are now blatantly advocationg investments in rich and getting richer markets overseas in thier tv ads. The money still exists in our country to turn us around but it's going quick. Every time an American dollar is spent to buy a brick in Dubai or Malasia it's a dollar not spent on a building block to be used here in the us. Don't get me wrong I don't have any more faith in the Democrats than I do in the Republicans. But honestly one more lifting of the debt ceiling at this point won't put us in much of a deeper hole than we are in now. The Democrats want to remove tax breaks for the wealth (who can afford them in my opinion). What they can't make do without buying another multi million dollart vacation home that they aren't going to spend more than 3 weeks a year in. Gimme a break. The Rrepublicans respond with thier assertion that it is the wealth that create the jobs. That was true once. Back in the old days the wealthy used thier wealth to build factories and fund research that was destined to improve the way we build and create things in America. They possessed a sense of responsinility to do something to give back to the community which did so much to get them where they were and due to a sense of morality they did so. Those days are gone however. The wealthiest of Americans don't possess this moral compass anymore. Greed is the name of the game now and there is no such thing as having enough. Oh they still invest thier money but it isn't invested in America anymore. They aren't building thier factories here anymore. All eyes are on investments and opportunities elsewhere. In other words the rich don't create jobs anymore. Not here anyway.
By the way, remember when Bush wanted to switch everyones Social Security accounts over to a fform where it would basicly be paid for our of investments in the stock ,market. Citing it would make the whole program far more solvent. Even profitable giver the magnitude of the success Wall Street consistently enjoyed. That was befor what they are now calling the Great Recession. When would my 85 year old grandmother who has alzheimer disease be now if he'd been successful. Where would my severely mentally retarded cousin who is currently 37yo but has the mind of a 4yo be. I take care of both of them now here in my own home. By myself while doing the best I can to eke out some kind of living at the same time. To say I am not able to be very successful at earning much is an understatement. Anyone who has taken care of people suffering such afflictions knows it is a full time and seldom rewarding job all by itself.
The only thing I want to hear from my government is that they are pulling out of the 3 wars we are wasting America's money on and cutting the balls off of any corporate entity that sends it's jobs overseas.
So, what do I think of the debt stalemate in Washington DC? I think it is a perfect example of children bickering and yelling mine, mine, mine." If I don't get my way then I'm gonna tear up your stuff so you won't have any toys either." They are a bunch of spoiled petty bastards and the only reason they got elected is because they got put there by the wealthy puppetiers who know they will do exactly what they are told. The people be damed.

Since Obama was a freaking senator he has done nothing but demand spending. Even during the election, he was asked what he would cut, and he could not name one thing. Instead he mentioned things he thought needed much higher spending. He had the joke of a freaking stimulus, and while it is entitlements for perfectly able bodied people crushing this country, he adds another one. He has no grasp of reality.

What I think truly shows how big of a political HACK Obama is is the cuts in negotiations. Obama says he is willing to cut 4 trillion if he gets tax increases, and only 2 trillion if he does not. All this means is that there are clearly 4 trillion in cuts (Most of which are accounting tricks I am sure) that they can agree on, however the democrats are politcial freaking hacks that are more anxious in playing class warfare than they are actually solving anything. As they cry about cuts to cowboy poetry and liberal entertainment like NPR being cut. What a bunch of freaking clowns.

As far as raising taxes go, Until they show us they can be responsible with the tax revenues they already have they should not get another dime of tax increases. If they are going to increase any, they should start with a minimum tax for everyone so that the 47% of the population that doesn't contribute a freaking dime can contribute something.

Those of us that actually pay taxes pay more in taxes than we do for our mortgage. That is absolutely ridiculous. Particularly when A VAST MAJORITY of it goes to lazy perfectly able bodied people that could take care of themselves, but choose to steal from others. On top of that they do not even appreciate it. Instead they are angry bitter entitlement junkies that attack and vilify those that actually pay for them. What a bunch of thieving pricks.
