Google is your friend there old man, I'm sure you can figure it out
Still waiting for you to provide me with
A) A list of $4T in spending cuts proposed by Obama
B) A list of positions Obama campaigned up, that would be considered right wing.

Are you googling for these still?
Gimme gimme gimme, spoken like a true right winger who is too lazy to do anything for themselves
Here you go princess, and it took all of 30 seconds,..
"The president also has signaled a willingness to include reforms to popular entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare as part of a broad agreement for between $3 trillion and $4 trillion in deficit cuts over the next decade, said Democratic officials familiar with the negotiations."
Come on folks----the clock is ticking and the detonator is making noise.
We know this no magic bullet or magic wand that is going to work here. Passing an ammendment that we know is going to get killed is wasting time----this provides cover for congressional leaders who want to be patted on the head by the brazen wing of the party.
The time has come for us to tackle the deficit with the force of this country that has been made up of logical and reasonable people who want to do the right thing.
Yes it is time to do something that insures our future generations are not stuck with piles of debt. It is time for logical men and women to sit at at a round table and reach viable conclusions-----a viable conclusion is not for this country to default and let the rest of the world hold worthless debt that we have generated----that is cowards way out and this country has been predicated on the fact that are not cowards, and that we tackle our problems headon.
The party is over---I realize that---is is time for major debt overhaul. If you want to cap and balance in future generations it shoulder be done-----lets see the blueprint---not just a hocus pocus ammendemnt---please.
I pray that reasonable people with solid---logical--and creative solutions will prevail---not people who want cut and run---America does not need abdicatoros.
Simple question for Liberals: What's wrong with cutting, capping, and balancing?
It seems that your ideology is so far off-balance that you don't even know what right side up even looks like anymore. Explain this to us, instead of blindly supporting everything Barack Obama says.
The debt issue has a lot of Americans edgy and worried. Fuses are short and tempers are flaring----see Obama V Cantor.
In my previous post I referred to the concept of default as cowardly and abdication. This is strictly a shot at the concept of default---an opinion on the overall concept.
We are all entitled to our opinions on the direction America takes and the very tough decisions that need to be made.
We are all hoping for the best and that a logical and solid conclusion is reached. This is a free country and we can express ourselves accordingly----Just pointing that the opinion is regarding the concept of default and not aimed at anybody in particular----we are all in this together.
Obama's main flaw is that he is failing to show to the House and to the people that there is INDEED a REVENUE PROBLEM (and not only a SPENDING problem).
You can't compromise, you mean you won't compromise because the compromise entails one simple thing, ending a temporary tax cut that is long past its sell by date. The only future that the GOP is concerned with its own, you don't give a damn about America, and it would be nice to stop pretending that you do.
You cannot tax your way to prosperity.
Lower corporate tax rates and close some of the goofy tax exemptions that make no sense.
Why does he seem to be so determined to not compromise?
Because they're effectively asking him to be the one the Great Recession/Depression occurs under. You wouldn't be that kinda ballsy leader either even if you knew it needed to occur.
alphmale
Agree----lets cut some goofy tax exemptions.
On cutting corporatate taxes, to compensate accordingly, do you favor a revsion of the tax code---i.e. a flat tax?
