People who are in the wrong always want the ones in the right to 'stop pointing fingers'.
See? You can't stop it either.
This isn't about wrong or right. It's not about left or right. It's about saving this country. I made some valid points above and I notice no one wants to comment on them. No, some would prefer to egg on the bickering.
I'm done, so you can cross me off your bickering list too.

'Bickering' is not an accurate word to describe the intense battle going on over where the country is headed. It's inaccurate to a fantastic degree but is more comfortable than understanding what is really at stake.
Public opinion has shifted in the past year to a demand for a smaller, fiscally responsible government--at least among a significant portion of voters. Even Democrats have responded to this shift in the political winds.
From what I have read, a number of plans have been offered, not necessarily plans that are being given any attention and even people here on CD have made some good suggestions, e.g. cut out foreign aid. There are countless agencies and bureaucracies--even Cabinet departments--that could be eliminated or severely cut back. But the politicians want to scare the public by threatening that Social Security, SSI, veteran benefits, etc. will be the first to fall.
Senator Tom Coburn sent a letter to his senate colleagues with some clear and specific ways to cut $9 trillion from the budget over 10 years. His letter can be read at this link:
Aren't we (or shouldn't we be) beyond petty party bickering at this point? Don't we have bigger fish to fry?
My 'bickering' is not about the budget outcome or which party 'wins' anymore.
No .. My 'bickering' is about little cowardly 'twerps' who sit in their mommy's basement and can't post a full sentence before throwing out an insult!

...that makes a lot of sense lol. It seems the tea baggers have weaken their own party's bargaining power.
Like all cowards, they have nothing worthwhile to say and whatever they do say .. they say it behind the cloak of protection, known everywhere as Mommies Basement.
Or clowns like this may actually be those cellar dwellers that we call trolls!

Either way .. they're cowards.
The irony in your post is astounding. My guess is it'll be lost on you, but I'm enjoying it. Carry on!

You know I might have supported your position, had you actually been responded to the OP who started this left, right etc..
The downgrade will happen regardless of what plan is passed... that is completely clear, the Credit agencies have said explicitly that the cuts must be extremely deep and 3 Trillion is only halfway decent... and nobody has proposed deeper enough cuts... What amazes me is that SS, Medicare, and Medicaid are the first to be chopped up... There are literally thousands of unnecessary programs that can be stopped or reduced before the other entitlement programs get turned into sushi.... but they are pretty much untouched... I do understand that Medicare, SS, and Medicaid occupies the biggest chunk of our spending, but I rather cut $1 in some nebulous program before I cut $1 in SS, Medicare, and Medicaid... In fact, I don't think its even necessary to cut SS because it is entirely solvent IF the government stops stealing from SS... why are they cutting these programs before the other worthless programs... I just don't get it...
I think this must be the first time that I have agreed with you but I agree 100%.

No big deal, I normally don't reply back to chumps.
Wrong. Obama offered to cut spending AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE. Do you not understand the difference between now, and then?
These are $3T in cuts NOW, not some imaginary $4T cuts that Obama DIDNT OUTLINE.. Do you not understand the difference between real cuts, and imaginary ones?
As much as TParty folks hate to pay their bills, the American people hate, even more, being blackmailed. So, we will see how this turns out in the not so long run.
