On the other hand, S&P's report said that they were concerned that the Bush tax cuts would remain in place.

The country is in dire distress and these wonderful “representatives” take a vacation to where?

Point made?

Then they went to work dismantling the infrastructure of the US via bills and votes.
This happened in addition to bribing (err I’m sorry, campaign contributions) congressmen/women and senators through powerful lobby groups such as AIPAC which is also full of “dual-citizens.”

Now these same “dual-citizens” who engineered the Patriot Act (Chertoff) headed (and still head) “Homeland Security” (Chertoff, Lieberman, Janet Napolitano) ALL dual-citizens mind you, as well as the financial side of it (Greenspan, Bernanke, Axlerod, Summers, Geithner, Blankfein).

Some will say this is anti-semitic but the top tier of the decision making processes which have harmed our country both domestically, financially and in matters concerning foreign policy have been instigated and perpetuated by these individuals who have “dual-citizenship” to a foreign nation.

Examine it for yourselves and be honest about the results of those in positions of power who caused this mess. See how many of them actually hold “dual citizenship” with a foreign nation.

Those who enabled this to happen are NOT those who will get us out of this mess, even though (oddly enough) they are the ones still calling the shots.

America needs to remove those with “dual-citizenship” from power as they are not 100% committed to the well being of the US and it’s citizens.

Attorneys don’t represent both sides in a court of law, yet we have “dual citizens” doing this very thing in regards to our nation and the future of the US populace in matters of finance and US policy. Is this not risky?

It’s easy to throw labels and have knee-jerk reactions to those which bring these matters to light but all I see is a country full of “dual-citizens” making decisions for the majority of the populace who happen to only hold citizenship to the USA.
I do not believe it is bigoted to point this out.
It’s like saying there are worms in the apples.
I do not hate worms, but I also don’t want my apples to be full of them either.

What day of the month does your KGB pension check come in?

The TP at least had a clue regarding the fiscal insanity. They are not going away after two years so just maybe some of the others in Congress should take a long look at the TP fiscal agenda. It isn’t prefect but it is what Congress doing and have done for decades any better? I think we’ve had that answer since 2008.

And don’t give me any crap about Clinton balancing the budget. That trick of borrowing from Social Security to cover the difference is part of why they want to reduce those benefits now.

Imagine if your family ran up debt every year for four decades. Does it matter if it was your mother or your father that ran up that debt more than the other when both of them are racking up debt year after year after year?

It’s been the worst in the last decade. It’s like each party has tried to outspend the other. First Junior Bush ran record deficits with Cheney running around claiming deficits don’t matter, and then amazingly, Obama outspent those fools.

We are to the point we can’t service the interest on the debt without taking out more debt. We are paying one credit card with another, soon to be at higher interest rates. And what will happen in early 2013 when we’ve added another 2 trillion to the debt we already can’t pay?

Will they make us wash China’s dishes for 50 years?

Imagine two guys arguing over a $20 dinner bill. One says, “I’ll pay $17 of this bill, and not a penny more!”

The other says, “NO! I won’t pay more than $2! The food was lousy, the service terrible, and I didn’t want it!”

Both, of course, ate deeply of the same.

Finally, the manager come along and threatens to make both of them wash dishes until the $20 is paid off, and they compromise, with one paying $17.50 and the other $2.50.

Keep in mind both pigged out equally at the same trough. Now, would you say that compromise was fair?

Sure, you could argue both were at fault for failing to agree on how to pay the bill, but there can be a great deal more fault on one side than the other.

Isn’t Mr. Axelrod’s answer exactly what is wrong with our political system of “blame the other guy” when both major parties are clearly at fault?

Isn’t the mainstream media simply pushing the fake divide between the parties when the reality is they are two sides to the same coin and you have no real choice at the polls?
