And thank you President Obama for providing this leadership to new depths.
Yes, Obama's leadership can be blamed. But what about the GOP's unwillingness to raise taxes? We got into this mess due to tax cuts and we have to get out of it by slowly raising the tax rates back up. If anyone thinks we can escape the mess without raising taxes, they don't deserve to be in Washington. Those people are completely naive and unwilling to face reality. (and yes the Dems who won't cut Medicare are the same, but they aren't so powerful, are they now?)
Who is disagreeing? I think part of this increasing income taxes. I think it takes someone to do both. I'd be willing to give Obama a pass on being a tax and spend liberal if he wouldn't do the spending part.
Dude Obama already agreed to huge spending cuts,
Reality check, Obama had little choice but to agree to reducing the growth of spending from its projected growth of nine trillion dollars to, maybe, five trillion dollars. Only in Washington is spending five trillion dollars more a "cut."
Say you get paid $55,000 in 2011. And you get paid $55,000 in 2012.
You go out and buy $55,000 worth of groceries in 2011. You inventory them.
Then you go and buy $55,000 worth of groceries in 2012 after a 5% inflation in foodstuffs prices. You inventory them.
You find you have 5% less food than in 2011.
Only in the mind of a hack Republican is that not a cut.
