Underneath all the distracting political noise of the imaginary Republican versus Democrats contest is the harsh reality that the United States is deep in debt with its credit rating subject to change as the debt problem worsens.
The political reaction to this situation is seen in the deals between Obama and Boehner at the beginning of last year and the deal of Murray and Ryan at end of this year.
The band aids they apply involve tax increases and spending cuts simultaneously. Murray-Ryan created new taxes and cut the extended unemployment benefits and military pensions.
The real State of the Union is buried underneath all this political hype (Obama’s class warfare talk and the GOP’s anti-Obamacare crusade).
I expect the trend to get worse with new bipartisan deals that will find new ways to tax us maybe even our savings and investments along with welfare cuts and military cuts like Army divisions, Air Force air groups and Navy carriers.
The Left and the Right, Progressives and Patriots will be up in arms. I’m not sure if I see violence, I certainly don’t want it, but realistically it may be a possibility.
The piper has to be paid and its probable these band aid Uniparty deals coming our way will fail to do that......
our people have become soft, indulged, arrogant....
we're deteriorating quickly into the slavery stage....we had our chances...
no God...no good...
