A compromise is needed to deal with the debt problem. It is a word that is anathema to the GOP. Back in the good old days, when republicans put the good of the country over their own ambitions, things always improved. The GOP does not care about the country's welfare anymore. If they want the DEMS to stay in power all they have to do is to continue their current ways of dismissing the people that they serve. Not just dems or reps, just everyone. I used to vote GOP a lot. Those days are gone. Unfortunately, for them.
When you lose an election, you get frustrated. When you're sitting in a subpar 2 percent economy, and are faced with tax hikes rather than marginal rate reductions, you get even more frustrated. And when you're staring at $47 trillion in spending over the next 10 years, and $8.6 trillion in deficits, your frustration levels climb even higher.
These are among the frustrations that led a number of House Republicans to pull back from Speaker John Boehner's so-called Plan B. Nobody looked good on the Republican side when Thursday night's vote fell through. But you have to understand their frustrations....
Yes it's definitely time for Barack Otrauma to demonstrate that he will significantly compromise by offering true substantial spending cuts, and that all proposed reductions must occur in HIS next term instead of those of future presidents!
By the way, when was the last time that the Obama regime bothered to propose and pass a budget as it is supposedly obliged to do?
Otrauma's self-made financial fiasco is his way of dissing the voters that were foolish enough to elect him and those who unsuccessfully voted for another candidate.
