Confused about McConnel's debt ceiling proposal?...

you're not alone.

I've reached the point of not having a clue as to what's going on with the debt talks.  And why should I?  Everything is hush-hush and secretive.  Aren't you all tired of these elitist bastards in Washington playing games with our money?  Do you get a tingle up your leg when Obama calls you ignorant, tells you to "eat your peas" (what kind of dumb-ass thing is that for a president to say??), and threatens to deprive granny of her social security check when the facts say there is plenty of income and reserves for such an event to not happen?  Pundette puts that little statement in a deep, dark hole:  About those empty coffers

In the blogging world the advice is to always add something new to the discussion.  Well, how about this? I have nothing to add to the discussion.  I hear these elitist politicians endlessly talking about this cut and that cut, but never do I hear anything about the Department of Education, the EPA (one of the biggest and most dangerous job-killing departments ever dreamed up), or any of the  myriad of pork barrel  spending for bridges to nowhere, new casinos, or the studies of monkeys suffering from PMS.

To add even more insult we get a daily gloat review of the millions upon millions of dollars collected on both sides of the aisle by the different potential nominees to run for president.  It's obscene and should be stopped.

"[T]he sheer incompetence and, in some cases, mendacity, of the current crop of statist politicians in both the legislative and executive branches seem likely to bring on an economic crisis that will actually force Americans to decide between a constitutional restoration and a full embrace of statism. ... This pantomime deficit-reduction process is evidence that those in charge have lost their mental grip on the true dimensions of the fiscal crisis. Once they have lost their mental grip, their economic grip -- and then their political grip -- also will soon slip away, followed, perhaps, by a restoration of liberty." --columnist Tony Blankley  (H/T to Patriot Post via Political Brambles
