The only difference between the game show and the political show are the costumes the participants wear……..it’s all a game and a pathetic one at that…..

By now the whole damn world knows of the fiscal cliff….or is it fiscal slope……maybe it is a fiscal curb…….anyway the media is working overtime to turn this into a complete month long opportunity to drive the conversation…..

All this is just a fake deal…….nothing about it is worth reporting……that is unless you think that this is a big deal……and if you do…… you need to remove your head from your ass……

First the Dems and the prez offer up their proposal…….

Let’s back up and examine Mr. Obama’s offer. As expected, it calls for $1.6 trillion in tax increases over 10 years. The president has long said that’s his dollar goal for new revenue and that raising rates on the top 2 percent of taxpayers is the only way to raise enough cash to get there.

But the proposal also calls for $50 billion in immediate stimulus spending.

Obama’s proposals were nothing…..not even a serious offer…..but I guess they had to start somewhere…….but this is not to my liking……

Oh yeah, the GOP has offered up their counter proposal……

The proposal from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other Republicans comes in response to Obama’s offer last week to hike taxes by $1.6 trillion over the coming decade but largely exempt Medicare and Social Security from budget cuts.

The GOP plan also proposes to raise $800 billion in higher tax revenue over the decade but it would keep the Bush-era tax cuts.

You may like one proposal over the other….but neither explains in plain English how they will achieve their ends……we must take their word for it……and of course, their word is good only if it is not from the other guy…….pathetic.

Now all those on the Right are telling the country that this is the most reasonable of proposals……..funny how this same proposal was a piece of crap when it was first offered back early in 2012…..it was not a serious offer then but now….well we all know how they play this lame ass game……wait for the 11th hour to promote urgency and make a deal to appear to have saved the country from disaster…..

All the optimism the day after Mitt got his ass handed to him in the election is gone…….of course there NEVER was any way of compromise….it was all the same game…..smoke and mirrors….

But at least I did not expect any cooperation…….none of these ass clowns or the media that speaks for them wants anything good to happen in the country…..it makes better copy and more lively debate to screw over the country…….
