Am I in an alternate world? The market looks thrilled. And the links I see say "House Republicans Fold" http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-01/house-republicans-fold
Boehner, Cantor, and McConnell have got to go. Anybody voting for these a-holes in the future deserve to be tarred and feathered. There is no leadership - only squealing like puffy pigs until they get roasted..... Bring on the next election.
We up here in the Northeast always did know you Tea Party fucks were a bunch of provincials with no clue how a country is put together and stays together, but lemme tell you numbnuts, it'll be a very very long time before we forget what happened with the Sandy aid: Sandy Aid Vote Delay Draws Northeastern Lawmakersâ Ire: Everyone knows the reason the vote didn't take place is that Boehner didn't want to present a spending bill right after the fiscal cliff vote. Of course the next question is why did it take so long for a bill to make it out of the House in the first place when the Katrina aid was voted on in 10 days. Up here we know it's because you semi-literate provincial reactionaries hate New York.
Sometimes I am a bit idealistic and think our politicians will do the right thing. republicans raked over the coals again by obama. What I cannot understand is why democrats fail to see that eventually the debt will need to be paid back. Why don't democrats care about how massive the national debt is getting? What do they think is going to happen once the bill comes due?
The northeast always votes democrat so I doubt the republicans really give a fuck how upset you are. Perhaps it has something to do with this fraud perpetrated by the democrats with all this garbage they stuffed into the bill. $150 million in funding for fisheries in Alaska, $5.3 billion to the Army corps of engineers, $56.8 million for charting the debris from last year's Japanese tsunami, $41 million for eight military bases including Guantanamo Bay $100 million for the federal Head Start day care program, $188 million for new Amtrak lines (not repair, new lines) $20 million for a nationwide "water resources priorities study", $4 million for the ... Kennedy Space Center? Idiot.
It's sure does detail the sad state of affairs when you folks on the left cheer a passing of something like this. You know it's wrong, there's a flashing warning light in the back of your head going off, but you ignore it because it's a chance to be partisan once more. Who cares about the fiscal sanity when you can post silly one liner responses in a political thread? What you fail (as always) to realize is that no one is going to have the last laugh except the anarchists. And you really don't want them to be right, believe you me.
