Well…I’ve been kind of following the whole fiscal curb/debt ceiling nonsense with my peripheral vision over the past few days and a couple of things have begun to strike me…the first is that the right has lost one of their loyal commentators today with an article from David Brooks stating in no uncertain terms that it is the repubs who are wholly responsible for the mess we are in…even though it’s not a mess really…it just our country being held hostage by a bunch of right wing terrorists who put Grover Norquist and the rich first…and everyone else can go to hell. Then, you have Lindsey Graham coming out yesterday saying that he will crash the economy if the tax cuts for the rich are not protected by raising the retirement age and cutting SS benefits…just like ole Snyder did here in Michigan, this idiot would make retirees go hungry just so his rich donors and corporations can suck more and more out of the economy….how much is enough? Do we just have to kill everyone that is out of a job or living on the SS they paid for their whole working life? That appears to be what they want and the only thing that will satisfy them….and they won’t stop until there is the 1% with all the money and everyone else broke and starving….geez…
