So, I just saw where the Obama administration is looking for 4 Trillion in cuts over 10 years. That's bullshit and won't accomplish a single thing. Federal deficits will still be running in the hundreds of billions per year. Our leaders don't have the fucking balls to do anything that would help this country.

Then I would predict Obama has a teaching job somewhere in his (hopefully) immediate future. :)

And a couple of book deals too. His vast experience as editor of the Harvard Law Review should come in quite handy. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, I forgot he went from Audacity of Hope to Hope & Change in short order. The title of his post-presidential book might be titled, Audacity: Hope & Change?

No matter what happens ... Bad things are going to take place and we the people will carry the load for bad politics and plannning over the years. Without cuts in spending and a balance budget mentality ( see articel) http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/debt_ceiling_worst_case_scenario.html the American ecomony will faulter and more jobs and employment lost.

Simple: Continue to take the path of Obama, taking into consideration the past 2 year track record of failures and waste or Take a direction of what you would do in your own home to balance and pay bills... cut spending, stop spending, live within the means of your income, create (look) for addition work ... basic and simple solution until things change and the situation get better.

That article says Obama would have authority on deciding what to fund; others have said it would be the House -- which makes more sense as it is tasked with the responsibility of formulating the budget each year. If it IS the House, then the right folks would be in charge of deciding how to cut spending but keep us from default.

If it's the Senate, we are doomed to Majorspark's iceberg. Those retards can't even formulate a budget in 800 days.

800 days the D's have had to make a budget, yet it is the R's fault, because they will not compromise America's future?

Obviously you didn't get the memo - it is Cantor's fault.

She put her foot in her mouth but their were many more people with better qualifications then Brooks including the BUSH administration that thought that we were headed to a world wide financial melt down. It is really funny how some of you armchair QBs operate.

Every day it gets more ridiculous!

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/do-you-work-for-the-government-you-may-be-more-likely-to-die-than-get-fired/
Last year, USA Today reported that the average federal salary was an eye-popping $81,258 (not including benefits). And now, during a time of 9.2% unemployment, USA today is also reporting that the 500,000 federal employees making over $100,000 a year enjoyed a 99.8% retention rate for their jobs in 2010.

that number is far scarier if we can't keep getting cheap interest rates from foreign buyers of US treasuries. Between the added debt and increased interest rates, we could easily see that debt service soar to $600-$800B, and then what? The less we cut now, the more will have to be cut later. And you think that would get both parties to the table. That's why if they had real interest in their pet entitlements now they would prioritize to protect those in the future.
