On My Pessimism Regarding a Budget Deal
As long as we have morons on the right like Marsha Blackburn saying that we can balance the
budget simply by cutting non-defense discretionary spending and morons on the left like Raul Grijalva saying that the only thing necessary
is allowing the Bush tax-cuts to expire on families making over $250,000
a year (68 billion out of a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit), then, no, I am not very optimistic and will in fact remain that way.
All spending is discretionary.
ReplyDeleteI agree but I think that this Blackburn lady was referring to that 10-15% of the budget that isn't military or entitlements. And she wasn't even specific there.

ReplyDeletePerhaps cooler heads will prevail....perhaps they will come to their senses....perhaps they will agree on something that helps the entire population....perhaps a comet will hit D.C......hey,it could happen.
Ever wonder why the founders made a term in the House 2 years? It was'nt ment to be a life long occupation,Were they that smart and we're that fucking stupid?
Maybe the Gang of Six can get back together and recruit some additional members, steamroll Pelosi, McConnell, etc..
