And in that proclamation….is a HA HA moment! (more like side splitting laughter….but I was trying to be polite)
The media is all a tither about the upcoming budget debate…..tell me, please…..what will be exciting?
First of all, the GOP has its point man on the talk shows talking about what dire straits the country will be in if the Dems win the budget debate….they defend their position by saying that they are disappointed in the Prez for NOT leading the debate……when they presented with the deficit commission report, that Repubs did NOT vote for…..they say well we gave our own report and no one listened……typical game……if they were serious about conversation then they would have used the report to fuel the conversation….they did NOT….instead they gave thier hatch man, Rep. Ryan and free rein to come up with their own plan with the hopes that they would get more support….they did not and now it is the Prez fault that there is NO exchange between the two sides of Congress…..
So the media thinks that the next couple of months will be exciting, eh? I think it will be a worthless waste of time….now is the time to focus on JOBS….and many well known economist say the same thing……but instead of putting America back top work…..we will play this partisan game of he said, they said…..and the end…the deficit problem will be kicked down that proverbial road…..yet again.
So after all the haggling, the lies, the stats, the misinformation and the word games….and I mean both sides of the damn stupid aisle…..what will we have accomplished? Pretty much the same thing that is accomplished almost every Congress…..NOTHING!
So, once again….what will be so exciting about doing NOTHING?
The American people are NOT being governed…..they are being played like a CHEAP flute…….
Hopefully some agreement can be reached, because a government shutdown hurts too many people. I remember when it happened during the Clinton administration. My mother was a nurse at a VA hospital at the time, and she didn’t receive a paycheck for some time. That hurt, but we made it.
Just a shame that a bunch of fat wallet politicans can put people in that kind of predicament.
Morning Terrance nice to hear from you again…..I also remember the previous shutdown and it cause some concern for my family also…….my biggest bitch about the spending debate is that it has created NO jobs and all the cuts they propose will create NO jobs and will increase unemployment….where is that good for the country? Maybe good for one party or the other but that is not what we need……
Sadly, I think you (and Terrance) are absolutely right on this one. But that is the DISadvantage of your electoral system – you can (and frequently do) have what amounts to a minority government – which is why I prefer the UK system (bad as it sometimes is).
Neither one of these parties are anything more than a joke….both are owned and operated by special interests…..
Yes. True. But your system allows (heck, it virtually guarantees!) this to happen.
