Serious Deficit Nuttiness
My opinion on the deficit has been made clear already. That things have come to the impasse we see today implies some first-class nuttiness and risk-taking on the part of house Republicans that is inexcusable.
Our three Republican representatives are either scoundrels, who would sell their state and country down the river just to spite Obama, or idiots, with no clue about what every student of first-year economics would flunk for not knowing.
Obama has also failed to educate the American people as to the real issues involved and has allowed the deficit vultures to frame the national debt as a family debt issue, rather than the debt of a sovereign that creates its own currency. In the end, Obama must be held as responsible for this manufactured crisis as the tea-party Republicans.
Boehner is clearly not the sharpest tack in the box and Reid has not exactly distinguished himself as an upholder of American Democratic ideals.
What a sorry bunch.
All of them.
