Wow, I don’t even know what to think anymore. Up is down, conservative is terrorist, the northern United States becoming a tundra is global warming... does the press even try to hide their agenda anymore?

Our government, the one comprised of the vote-pandering zealots (Democrats) and the comfortable Republican GOPe establishment, has so completely left the realm of sanity.

The don’t know or, more importantly, care about real America out here. The America that works, pays taxes, tries to survive (thrive is a word long gone now) and stay healthy. This government attacks that America on every front.

They live in a fantasy land of power and money, surrounded by its high paid bureaucrats, business lobbies, media shills and political traitors. They know no honor - or pride. The allure is so powerful, it takes even Congressmen like mine - who did well for a while and turned him into just another second-tier power appeaser hell bent on returning to his seat this year.

If I have anything to do with it, he (Collins) won’t be elected again. Neither will anyone the GOP or Chambliss supports for Senator. Johnny’s time is coming, too.

I don't see how they/we can avoid an economic apocalypse - maybe they know we can't and they're just padding their nest for the inevitable.

When true unemployment reaches 35% or so, there will be no way the Federal government can continue operations - and we're not far off (85 billion imaginary dollars a month is only forestalling the inevitable).

Speaker Boehner is without doubt the worst Speaker in history.

From the article: "As outlined in the Ryan-Murray budget agreement, it is based on a $1.012 trillion spending cap."

This is wonderful news indeed. Why just several years ago I remember that federal spending was in excess of four trillion dollars. Our leaders deserve a lot of credit for having whittled government spending down so remarkably.

The greatest benefit of a "$1.012 trillion spending cap" is that the excess revenue, around three trillion dollars per year can be applied to our 18 trillion dollar debt, paying it down to zero in just six years.

It's just so remarkable that ... What? They're not really talking about a "spending cap" but a "borrowing cap"? How can this be? Has George Orwell been consulted regarding the language to use in describing the U.S. budget?

Perhaps things aren't as rosy as I thought. Just what exactly is the author of this article talking about?
