Its little more than a contrived political message that has no basis even being considered by someone elected to run this country. And of course its designed to appeal to conservatives on a subconscious level as it marks the beginning of Obama's election. <br /><br />Its so stupid that i almost over looked how effective it could be in beguiling people, especially conservatives. With Simpson-bowles you have to think and adapt to realities that you might have never considered. With the rollback they just give you the numbers and you don't have to think, you don't have to wonder how it will be accomplished and what effect it will have on you. <br /><br />the idea also rivals Obama's budget in terms of lack of leadership. The people voting on the budget don't have to lead or show any initiative they just point to a number and their day is done. Its then up to the government to figure out what to cut in their depts. <br /><br />and then if the effects on the American people are not good, well its not the republicans fault they didn't make the choices, they just set the budget. Its shit but its brilliant. <br /><br />so what we end up with is a Washington full of people not wanting to do their jobs. Great. Bad enough my guy is being a political asshole, now the party of personal responsibility is wimping the fuck out too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-15363365884802294242011-02-16T12:06:41.965-05:002011-02-16T12:06:41.965-05:00Joe We have hypocritical extremist on both side ...Joe We have hypocritical extremist on both side of the FENCE ,however, I am on the side of doing something to actually FUND what we can and then CUT what we MUST. Only way to make OUR Nations Economy strong again. Politicans have damaged OUR Economy in so many ways but Finding the Starting line in this race seems to be the problem with Politicans NOW!<br /><br />Bowles-Simpson is a starting point or Rolling back to 2008 Spending would be another. All Citizens for the most part want is decision and action. All wont be satisfied but no other way.ALnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-52142529045013760902011-02-16T09:05:44.286-05:002011-02-16T09:05:44.286-05:00Al, you can forget about a third party being relev...Al, you can forget about a third party being relevant for more than a handful of elections.

The Democratic left - just look at HuffPo today - will have a cow. Indeed, if Obama backs anything, the GOP will automatically oppose him." <br /><br />In the end the budget is a half-hearted attempt to please as many people as he can while letting the "Scorched earth tactics" of the right work against them. He's playing a political game that while increases his chances with many people in 2012 it decreases his chances with me. <br /><br />At this point in my life i find the Bowles-Simspon method a fairly sound and thoughtful way to do things. I don't like many of the aspects of it, but i have to accept that measures outside of my political dogma and personal comfort are needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-74754758219946890772011-02-15T12:22:02.264-05:002011-02-15T12:22:02.264-05:00Chris At this time the old guard republicans se...Chris At this time the old guard republicans seem to still have enough control to keep the same ole same ole in Washington. There does not seem to be Urgency on their part to SHIT or get off the POT and that concerns me.<br /> Without a real assault on the DEFICIT we will be on the same merry go round just a few different riders.<br /> Politicans had better find their BALLS and soon,eventually DEBT will over come Us and then we will be NO better than Greece or any of thoses European Nations. Politicans have tried to take away Americas Greatness one Trillion at a time with DEBT and if Citizens do not become involved they will succeed.<br /> I also beleive there has to be a THIRD party but time will NOT allow that to happen. Until we have politicans who beleive America is still great WE are on a very dangerous coarse!ALnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-53650431281576866482011-02-15T07:55:39.393-05:002011-02-15T07:55:39.393-05:00This is how bad Obamas budget is, even liberal And...This is how bad Obamas budget is, even liberal Andrew Sullivan(JoeC hero) said this..."They[Senators] have to lead, because this president is too weak, too cautious, too beholden to politics over policy to lead. In this budget, in his refusal to do anything concrete to tackle the looming entitlement debt, in his failure to address the generational injustice, in his blithe indifference to the increasing danger of default, he has betrayed those of us who took him to be a serious president prepared to put the good of the country before his short term political interests. Like his State of the Union, this budget is good short term politics but such a massive pile of fiscal bullshit it makes it perfectly clear that Obama is kicking this vital issue down the road.<br />To all those under 30 who worked so hard to get this man elected, know this: he just screwed you over. He thinks you're fools. Either the US will go into default because of Obama's cowardice, or you will be paying far far more for far far less because this president has no courage when it counts. He let you down. On the critical issue of America's fiscal crisis, he represents no hope and no change. Just the same old Washington politics he once promised to end."<br />It seems like everyone is starting to come out of the ether now.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-66271872553286046382011-02-14T19:29:24.462-05:002011-02-14T19:29:24.462-05:00I just emailed a letter to Levin and Stabinaue usi...I just emailed a letter to Levin and Stabinaue using this website. It took 2 min. to send the letter to them. Just type in your zip code. I have two of the farthest lefties. But just look at how many Democrats are not running again thanks to the push of their constituents. Keep the Republicans honest and the DemocRats running. We can do a lot of damage to the Progressive machine. 1000 tinny cuts.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.com
