Austerity IS the cause of economic disaster in Europe. (Well, technically it’s the cause of the lack of recovery. The cause of the disaster was lack of regulation in American financial markets.)
If the House passes a budget that the Senate can not possibly live with, then it is the Senate’s duty to reject that budget. And as the tea party types in the House would attempt at every instance to undue such FDR initiated programs as social security, then if you are not yet on or just about to go onto social security, then it is you (and our children) that will be the losers. It may surprise you , but I would consider that to be a true tragedy.

Well, I’ll be danged! Lisa Benson makes sense. If allowed to stand, the cuts imposed by the Sequester will wreak havoc on state budgets.

Is there a Republican position you disagree with? Or a better question. Why do you outsource you’re thinking to a political party?

Federal spending has actually gone up in 2013 than it has from 2012. How can an increase in spending be called a “cut”?

For a change an apt cartoon. The hope is that the dominos will fall on the republicans but unfortunately it’s going to fall on all of us.
