Well…I was reading an article today that had ole Boehner talking about how bad the deficit is and how it is the only important thing for the house to focus on…but his reasoning made my jaw drop and it is still on the floor as I try to absorb the stupid…his reasoning went like this: because we have run deficits for 55 of the last 60 years, it shows that the government needs to bet cut and live within it’s means or there will be some sort of huge catastrophe….get that? The deficit is so terrible that we need to cut head start, unemployment, SS, and every other safety net program…and we need to do it right now since we may get the same result we’ve gotten for the last 60 years….and that is nothing…no dire consequences, no total meltdown of the economy, no sale of the country to the Chinese, no dogs marrying cats…no nothing. And now, this piece of crap has just proposed a bill that would pay bondholders first if the repubs decide to crash the economy by not raising the debt ceiling…that means we pay China and the rest of the repubs buddies while the military, seniors, and everyone else that has earned benefits will get stiffed…just what you would expect from the repubs and this POS….the stupid runs deep here….geez….
