All we ever hear from Obama and the Democrats is veto threats and complaning and whining while the Republicans have come up with several real plans. Typical I guess.

Exactly. I've been asking this for 4 years now. Where are the Democrats' plans to address our fiscal nightmare? Why is it that they are always on the defensive tearing down Republican plans, instead of on the offensive promoting their own plans?

Three Words: The Leech Vote

Democrats know that no plan makes sense if it doesn't include massive spending cuts, which would invariably blast away the foundation of their leech voter base. So what do they do? Ignore the issue altogether and take up arms against the GOP instead of supplying a solution of their own.

Liberal ideology is a Mental Disease.....a House Of Cards of withering structural support ($$$$$$). That's why they're losing in 2012. Bet on it.

Obama and company have been spending and have done NOTHING but wait till this deadline on purpose. No real plan except to make this political and offer no serious cuts.

The Democratic plan is to use deficit spending to keep up aggregate demand for goods and services until the domestic economy recovers from the trillion dollar wealth transfer from the home buyers to the home financiers last decade. The Republicans are doing everything possible to prevent this recovery so they can create their own corrupt Theocracy of Mammon in this country.

The need to maintain spending is why we are still wasting men and money protecting the petroleum monopolies access to resources in Afghanistan, Iraq and , now Libya. If the Western oil companies lost that access to the petroleum reserves their stock prices would tank (as they should) and this recession would turn into a worldwide depression.

Bullpucky. Democrats could care less about the "wealth transfer" that precipitated the recession. And home ownership? Not even on their radar. All they care about are social entitlements, which equals an unfunded mandate in the $60 Trillion dollar range. This, more than any military action anywhere in the world, is fiscally dangerous to the United States, yet Democrats fail to address the issue.

I'd emplore you to dig deeper instead of focusing like a laser on wars that have contributed relatively little to the fiscal morass we are in.

Entitlements are the issue. Democrats absolutely refuse to address the elephant in the room, and you know it. Why do you insist on giving them a free pass?
