Because Bush destroyed the surplus with tax cuts designed to turn us into a third world nation…also health care costs and defense spending are off the charts…they guy who seems to make the most sense on this is Paul Krugman….deficit just needs to be handled in a way thats consistent with democratic values that support the middle class

The truth is deficit reduction needed to be on the table and was on the table well before Ryan spat out his venom. Barack was right to address it and the republicans rushed in to stake out their position…a position that is political and policy suicide.
Thr right wing echo chambers only response has been Obamas lying…people know better or I hope so. Lots of us have private insurance and we know what has happened…skyrocketing premiums and less coverage…when the Repugs look to privatize Medicare everyone know exactly what will happen to our parents and grandparents. Yea, Republicans are saving Medicare..sort of how Fox saves you from having to reason.
I’d like Barack to breathe more fire…not likely..but truth be told he doesnt look too scared to me and he has forgotten more than the deep thinkers in the Tea Party know…
Keep the Faith

calilama commented on the blog post Amy Goodman on Scott Walker: “It’s not a good season to be a tyrant”
the practice of denying a quorum is well accepted within the political sphere dating back to Abrah Lincoln crawling out a Senate window to deny a quorum on a controversial bill…it is no different than a filibuster…a manifestation of minority rights…
what ought to be disturbing here is the stuff walker will eventually be indicted for….privatizing and removing Wisconsin power plants (paid for with wisconsin taxdollars) from a competitive bidding process and wholesale selling them off to private contributors like Koch…..there are only two explanations for people who support this type of corruption…an IQ deficit or a larcenous heart….
