If that means you purposely tank the job market or hinder it's growth and create a gazillion non-economy based social issues along the way...so be it. Whatever keeps your eyes on the prize and eliminates one of the few sources that can derail the game.
exactly..
it's all a game of chess, we all know this.. right now, it's kinda like chess and 'chicken' combined.. there's one or two more plays and checkmate is going to be shouted... but there's a 'chicken' match going on at the same time.. how far
do we let it all ride? do we take it to the end and let the country default? or do we do what the 14th says and Obama pay the debts the way the constitution says he has to? who is going to blink fist?
Obama, for his part is doing everything he can to make them blink.. They ask for $2 trillion in spending cuts, he gives them $4 Trillion and promises those will be SS and medicare cuts.. AND he even say we're not going to raise a single penny on taxes now, we'll hold off until 2013.. and the ones who we're going to raise them on? They are oil conglomerates who know how to work the system and will wind up getting more money back than what they pay when the loophole is closed.. and yet, they still say no.. after the spending and raises by these same exact people when it was Bush, how is there any question of their goal now?
Obama's doing everything he can to make them blink.. but he doesn't see that they've welded their eyes open and cut their lid off so that they will never blink..because the only priority today is to make sure he is a one-term president.. and in not seeing that, Obama will risk his office by turning against his party even more in the hopes of again, making the other side blink.. but they won't, so he will have to.. and then Michelle Bachmann becomes our President and we can watch how taxes on everyone BUT the rich are raised, how the debt ceiling and/or budget are no longer issues to worry about..because all will be paid for with the funds that used to pay for the EPA, SS/Medicare,FEMA and any number of other commie programs..
