Wow, what a gong show.
America needs direct democracy like in Switzerland......because these republican/democrat "representatives" are awful, awful people.
It looks like the middle class will bear the brunt of the austerity bill, I mean spending cuts. What a broken system....
How about making the top fortune 100 or whatever pay taxes instead of allowing them to hide revenues off shore?
How about cutting all this foreign aid?
How about ending the pointless wars in Libya, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc.?
How about slashing the over-sized federal government?...the country
can run without it.
How about they actually make the corporations like GE pay taxes? They have payed virtually no taxes in the last few years. I laugh at the fact that GE CEO Jeffery Immelt is the head of Obama's Jobs Council! During his time there, GE has shipped about 34,000 American jobs off shore since 2001. The corrupt corporatism is disgusting.
The supposed "grass-roots" tea party members have totally assimilated into the republican party and it is now obvious. Wanting to cut entitlements while mostly ignoring the Pentagon budget is totally selling out.
I see America defaulting down the road no matter what.
