You're either crazy or a leftwing zealot. Both parties got us in this mess, occupied, not just the republicans. Your democrats just wants to raise taxes on the rich and not address anything meaningful with spending cuts. The republicans want no meaningful tax hikes and no meaningful spending cuts.
The fiscal cliff address both sides of the problem without any political intervention....which IS good for America in the long run, despite what you think.
I'm thinking you don't want any tax hikes....except for the rich, which doesn't address any of our problems.
The msm will portray the gop as the culprits, but make no mistake, both sides are the problem.
Historians with no agenda will duly note it
Every single bit of this stems from the 2011 debt ceiling hostage crisis, an attempt by congress to refuse to pay for past spending in an effort to force cuts in entitlement programs and only entitlement programs.
They are the biggest drivers of deficit spending. You against living within our means?
I am against using such coercive, potentially disastrous means to get whatever it was they thought they could get. Put that shit up for a simple vote but don't hold the nation's credit rating hostage as a bargaining chip, that shit was so reckless and ultimately fruitless that none of them deserve their seats anymore.
