SPECIAL POST
Once again, Congress has proven that the desires of a
contemptuous President can trump the needs of a desperate America. It would much prefer that the nation remain
at fiscal peril than to deal with the problem like adults, simply because of
politics.
There’s not a damned thing in this bill, not one, that has the country stepping
up to the plate and resolving the issues.
There’s less than $20 billion in cuts next year and those cuts were
already there, in place, anyway. The bulk
of the “cuts” don’t kick in until 2016 or beyond; how does that help us today, when we need the help? Spending
has not been cut one dime. Spending
actually increases; they are depending on growth in the economy to make their
plan work and it is a forecasted growth
that will not occur according to growth figures of the last 24 months.
This “committee” may come up with its recommendations and
the House and Senate may vote, but the President can still veto.
This whole exercise was a sham from the beginning. It was all cheap talk, smoke and mirrors. They
all knew going in that they simply had to find a way to shuck and duck and to
make each other look good at the same time.
That’s what it was all about; nothing more and nothing less. But, there
are no real winners here because once-proud America is the total loser.
The President has his 50th birthday party at the
White House on the 3rd and he’s demanded that it be a happy
one. Congress did exactly what the
Premier told them to. It’s that
simple. Screw the bastards... all of them.
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
