Partisanship is bullshit and any thinking person with half an eye on things should be able to see that and move forward. Our country right now is in peril of hyperinflation the same as the Weimar Republic, and yet our leaders (pres, congress and senate) instead of tackling the issue and making actual cuts went with baseline budget cuts that don't mean shit. We bleed about 211 trillion a year and take in a pittance of this, our spending goes up and our return remains the same or less.

Not sure about how your house runs but if I spend more than I make then I trim the actual fat. To cut 1.2t over 10yrs is a laughable offering at best since our scheduled rate of spending increase is 8% annually, do the math and you will realize we haven't even tipped the waiter a nickle for a steak dinner with that offer.

Every member of congress needs booted, the 2 party system has fucked us for too long and watching these morons play the blame game is only making the global market shakier because they are doing exactly what a 6yr old does. Now why don't we all grow the fuck up and work together to fix this mess or at least begin turning the wheel on the ship one direction or another.
