claire mccaskill is still a dumbass...

This morning, on the way to work, I heard claire mccaskill talking about the need for compromise on the debt ceiling solution.

That's great, except for a couple of minor details. We, the conservatives in this Country, have allowed our elected officials to "compromise" us into this situation in the first place. If we had forced our government to stick by the conservative principles that this Country was founded on, we wouldn't have $14 TRILLION dollars worth of debt. We would have zero debt.

And second, there is no compromising with democrats. It's like trying to make a deal with a rattlesnake, even if he only bites you little bit you are still snakebit.

The deal that Boehner is signing us up for is a bad one. And Boehner is starting to sound like a democrat too. He says there are no tax increases in this deal. Well, wait a minute, part of the "savings" in this thing counts on not renewing the Bush tax cuts. Ok, well, no matter how democrats want to slice it, that is a tax increase. Back during the Bush presidency, George W. decided to let us keep more of our own money, our money, the money we earn when we go to work, not the fucking government's money. The government doesn't have any money, they have what we pay in taxes. It is ours, not theirs. There is quite a bit of confusion in washington about that money. We entrust them to spend that money to protect us, give us good roads and provide the BASIC services we need to live our lives. It is not their money. I can't say that loud enough, often enough.

Anyway, since Bush allowed us to keep more of our own money, if the democrats decide not to renew those tax cuts again, it is a tax increase, they will be taking more of our money.

Boehner, reid, pelosi and obama can describe it in any way they like, but they can't make it anything other than more taxes.

So, if claire mccaskill thinks that compromise is going to get us out of the looming financial disaster that is right over the horizon, she is a dumbass. The Republicans had a decent plan in Cut, Cap and Balance. It's not a perfect plan, but it is several steps in the right direction. The current plan that will be voted on today has NO REAL SPENDING CUTS, none. It reduces the growth of future spending, but even that isn't effective for two years.

claire mccaskill, this line of thinking, or lack of thinking, is one of the main reasons you will be unemployed in 2012...

And still the debt ceiling debate drags on...

It's funny really, no matter what plan anyone comes up with obama threatens to veto it. That would be ok, except he has no plan of his own. I guess it's easy to criticize the plan of others if they can't return the favor.

Of all the current "plans" being discussed, the "CUT,CAP and BALANCE is the best for the future of our Country. There are actual, real world spending cuts that take effect NOW, not ten years down the road.

The plan that Boehner and his group talked about today is ok, but it doesn't actually stop the current free for all by the democrats. It doesn't even reduce spending by enough to cover the built in increase for next year.

obama is only interested in one thing, raising taxes. Without that piece he will never fully agree to any of the plans. We have made our voices heard today, thousands and thousands of calls flooded the congress switchboard. Of course, both sides will claim that the calls were in their favor.

We have to let these people know that the days of kicking the can down the road are over. Something needs to be done NOW. Our Country is on the very brink of becoming Greece. obama has no plan to deal with our debt crisis. He won't support the plans of those who truly do have the best interests of our Country in mind. His inability to lead proves that he should just get out of the way...
