The election is mostly going to be about the economy. If it is getting better and generating jobs, Hussein could be re-elected. If it is as crappy as it is now and we are going sideways or in the wrong direction on jobs, he will likely lose.
We don't need the debt ceiling to force a debate on the issue. This plan allows us another debate on the issue in a few months, but even if it didn't we're about to get into the budget wars anyway.
There will be no serious budget cuts until Hussein is gone anyway. None. The only real cuts in any agreement will be the ones for next year - and that's only going to be a few billion no matter what the total number of 10 years is.
I am starting to disagree with this meme. I really think that this idiot has totally destroyed any good will he may have had. Even if we get a bump in the economy, which I think is impossible, people will be tired of his BS. I can't tell you how many people I run into in business who generally only talk about sports feel compelled to say something derogatory about this dope.
I just wish that we could do this Kabuki dance one more time before the election. Just look how Obummers numbers bottomed out on this. It would be a good thing.
