The Democrats and Republicans both have a lot to lose, as does this country.
People who are saying we should never raise taxes or never cut spending are part of the problem. Both parties should agree to cut spending and raise taxes because ultimately that WILL happen. If we do it now, we will be better off than if it is forced upon us later.
No one is saying that on the Democratic Side, are they? Show me one source where Dems say that we shouldn't cut.
To think this particular problem is bipartisan is ridiculous. It's the GOP and their SHIITE Brethren(the Tea Party) that is pulling the Stonewalling thing.
They don't want a fair approach... they want it their way.... which has been pretty much the case since '08. They have blocked and filibustered just about any significant piece of legislation this whole time.
I love it... the GOP holds the country hostage and Dems either get the blame entirely... or get this 50/50 bullshit.
I agree that this "The Democrats have refused to take tax increases off the table so we are walking" nonsense is laughable but are Democrats saying we should cut entitlements?
