The man knows his shit.
what a moron (Frank, not the OP).
First thing he whines about is how the Republicans came to power promising openness? Really? With all the behind curtains and closed door meetings the Dems and the C-I-C have had since the inauguration? He's gonna go there?
Next is the whining about how spending for Iraq and Afghanistan are exempt from caps. Um... we still have an active war in Afghanistan, and the complete withdrawal in Iraq isn't going to happen for a while yet... so naturally we want to reduce their funding... right?
Whining about how the 50/50 split in spending cuts between military and non-military spending was only for the first 2 years, with no guarantee after that. He's lucky he got that much.
He wants to blame this plan for cutting access o healthcare? He should look at what that monstrosity Obamacare will do to it.
And apparently, all Republicans are crazy... at least according to Frank. They also want everything in the country to burn down, all the bridges to collapse, bad air and dirty water for all, and last but not least... all the children to be homeless. Apparently, ONLY the federal government can or should address those issues.
As for his nonsense about wanting only $3.00 in taxes for every $1,000 you make over $250,000, and that solving all our financial problems? Nonsense. Spending could easily address that amount just by cutting waste and fraud from the budget.
Essentially... Barney Frank doesn't 'know' his shit... he's full of shit.
