TaxPayers WIN !!! Wheeeeeee !!!

   And, if you believe taxpayers, the Tea Party, Republicans or whatever you want to call them have won, you are an imbecile. We have given assurances for new tax increases in the future. As usual, the word emergency is written into this new bill (not passed at this writing).  In other words, if there is an emergency we will not be able to cut defense, and we dang sure won’t be able to cut Medicare.  Therefore an emergency will be present and we will ‘have’ to raise taxes in order to avert disaster.  If anyone things around Christmas time anyone is going to cut Medicare they are smoking something.  Further, they are not going to cut Medicare to the beneficiaries anyway… they will once again go to the providers, and in the end, that will be a cut to beneficiaries. 

   Congress has once again abdicated ‘their’ responsibilities by turning the tough decisions over to a six member panel / commission, whatever you wanna call them.  Harry Reid makes my skin literally crawl, and McConnell and Boehner are not much better.  They are yellow, all of them are yellow cowards, afraid to take a stand.

   I literally do not care anymore.  It is a proven fact that has taken me aloooong time to realize… the establishment runs the joint.  I knew it, I just didn’t believe it.  Media people agog over the fact Tea Party people would not buckle.  Well, in the end, they all buckle.  The pressure is too great. 

   And by the fricking way – who cares if the ratings agencies   downgrade us and raise the interest rate the government has to pay on the debt. Just raise the debt limit you idiots.  In the end, that is what they are saying anyway. 

   I say, we may as well default now and get it over with.  The sooner we clean up our act, the better off the country will be.  It will be tough, but then, it was tough staying outta debt myself over the course of my life.  I see now, I was a wingnut.
