and there you have it folks, the misguided ideal of the left that makes them think that the government is the source of all things good
Stupid comment. Exactly what bill trying to get through congress is going help anything? If you have one, please underscore how it helps.
You say on the one hand that government inaction on the fiscal cliff and regulation is causing investment to freeze up due to uncertainty.
You say on the other that government action is bad.
You can't have it both ways.
What deal? Where is any deal that cuts spending to usefulness? No fiscally responsible congressman wants to hear any more about less deficit. That broken record is folly.Obama and Boehner had worked out a deal to cut $4 trillion in spending and raise revenues by half that amount. Together, that would have cut the overall deficit by almost half. Boehner was on board.
But when he went back to the caucus, the TPers raised Holy Hell because a) it gave Obama a victory on the economy and b) raised taxes on their cronies and political financiers.
