How does asking for fiscal responsibity from elected officials constitute wrecking the economy
I could see blame for spending too much, I could see blame for not having a budget as required for 4 years, I could see blame for inattention to the fiscal side of the economy.
But asking for elected officials to live within the means of the country and budget in a thoughtful and thrifty manner and establish a strict budget that doesen't exceed the amount of money the government takes in could hardly be seen as irresponsible.
Perhaps it will take the stonewalling of the senate and harry reid to send us over the cliff so we have to put together an actual working economy from the wreckage.
If you know laws and the basics of government, you know this is not the case. It's the argument to be had over whether this is a Christian nation or not, and knowing full well of the laws would never allow that.
Fail!!!!!!
I know the laws, but they dont. People look at him as a ruler. The quote tag didnt work on my post from above.

Balnce the budget by fixing the economy. What a concept.
The right can do what ever they want.....in about a month Obama needs their approval for more borrowing, if they say no....there is virtually HALF of what is needed to simply turn the lights on in the country for only one day.
Thats what Obama is up against. Its his show...if Obama does not sign what the right want...the lights go out in one month. The right are determined to balance and stop the borrowing....the lights will go out if Obama does not shape up and it is all his fault, don't kid yourself...
Of all the people Obama should be speaking to, and I hope some of his people are reading these forums as is suspected...Obama would do well to ask Art Laffer if he has time for his incredibly wise guidance. He's the best the country has in this moment.
You can thank your retrograde Tea-Partiers of the 2010 election for single-handedly ruining the economy, if our economy falters to the wayside over the Debt-Limit/Fiscal Cliff deal.
On the bright side, Tea-Partiers will eclipse Union workers in astonishing speed on destroying the economy if all goes well or to *****, depending on your perspective.
They are doing what they ran on to get elected.
What, do you want them to 180 from the platform they ran on, to appease the Progressives in both parties.
You make it sound as if there are 3 parties not two, in both houses of Congress, not just the two Progressive parties, Democrat and Republican, but a total needed third party.

Thanks for well informed post. It was full of information and I learned so much. Put down the pipe with the blue grass in it for a few hours, then post.
Tea-Partiers will have to take full responsibility for this one. Even John Boehner had to kick out a few self acclaimed TB'ers in appointed positions before he announced his infamous Plan B...
If John Boehner sees the writing on the wall....well.....
The writing on the wall says don't rely on the economic imbeciles in Congress who ruined the economy and who were wrong about how bailouts would help.

In other words, hold the economy hostage to right-wing ideology.
How is going back to the tax rates we had under Clinton going to wreck the economy?
Actually, I'm glad for it. At least will be paying our bills.
It wouldn't if we went back to Clinton era spending. Which was about half of what it is now.
