This is so cool! Republicans get yet another crack at damaging the credit rating of the United States. All in order to protect the interests of the wealthy.-Ya gotta admire their patriotism.

The O Debt Generation.

Zoid, the downgrade was last year. Republicans were in control of the house, and used America’s credit worthiness to bargain for the fiscal cliff. Get your facts straight. Obama has reduced the deficit every year (something no Republican president has ever done, nor was Romney gong to with his unbalanced budget). Republicans never pay for anything when they’re in power, but when Democrats are in power Republicans force them to pay for anything they want to do, plus everything the Republicans irresponsibly put on credit.

I am also finding this fiscal cliff to be rappelling.

Sorry, too many interuptions this morning. The president has proposed over $700 billion in spending cuts (I believe that is over a ten year period.) The Senate convened this morning to work on a fiscal compromise. Boehner says he will not call the House back unless a bill is passed by the Senate. It will take a combination of revenue and spending cuts to get our country in order. What are the spending cuts that the Republicans want? What tax loopholes are they talking about?

If the Republican leaders really believe that the American people SUPPORT their spending cuts, then they should proudly stand up and clearly state what they are.

But the opposite is the case, which is why Romney had to marginalize Ryan.

They know their cuts are not popular, so they want Obama to propose them.

They don’t have the strength of their convictions.

…“As usual, Obama vacations as far away in the country from D.C. as he possibly can. No leadership whatsoever.”.Does Shrub still “clear brush” in Crawford…? Ever….?
