What would have been a tough fight anyway, as the newly elected House Republican majority tried to fulfill promises to the electorate on containing spending, was turned into a circus, as much of the media jumped into the ring clamoring for tax increases in the name of “balance.”
Let us remember that the initial plan from Treasury and the White House was: raise the debt ceiling, period. There were no sweeping blueprints to address our budget problems coming from the President. In fact, as an NTU Foundation analysis showed, the President’s budget proposal would keep the red ink flowing.".
If there are so many experts about, how did we end up with so many ignorant people in the House of Representatives? I call them ignorant because they put politics before the welfare of their fellow Americans. It makes me wonder how many will be one term Reps. Actually they all should never be re-elected. They all add to the voices of what Obama should be doing but they were not elected to the office of the Presidency.
When will people let the man do his job. I have resigned myself that it will not happen until enough Republican politicians lose their seats and realize that not only are they put there because the people believe in them, but they get very angry and do not let them stay when they learn their campaign speeches were nothing but lies. Meanwhile, while they are in Washington collecting benefits paid for by the very people whom they have abandoned in their greed to push their own agenda, not that of their constituents..
