bob, it's not about obama this and republicans that. it's the entire system. it's the mentality of one party winning and one losing. what happens is we all get screwed.
well how is that position any fun on a politics board?
I agree with you. I really do. That why I said that any solution had to work both financially and politically....it has to be a shared burden. And I am perfectly willing to take a sharp knife to domestic spending. I understand that it has gotten far out of hand.....but what is so frustrating to me is that no matter how much I am willing to give, the other side absolutely refuses to even consider any increase in the tax rates.....which are now the lowest they have ever been....even to rolling back recent tax cuts on the top 2% of incomes.
And that is why I said that the two sides' positions are not interchangable. Can you not see where I am coming from with that?
We are now at the lowest level of employment participation in this country since 1981.
The number of people who have left the workforce is also not good.
