Rats in a STEW??
Great News! Some elements of what was the GOP may be coming to their senses! They decided not to confront the President over the Debt Ceiling -- this time! They're fighting among themselves to get a 3-month extension on the ceiling, while threatening the Senate with no pay if "they" don't produce a budget by March, 2013.
Maybe they consulted the Constitution and learned that there are Presidential Budgets, Senate Budgets, and House Budgets. It's called SEPARATION OF POWERS. The President seems to have been cured of his "cum bi hy'ar" teachings, and miracles are sprouting in the wake.
Maybe this country can work its way out of this horrendous mess by focusing on what has already been agreed upon. For instance, in the "Cliff" debacle, a dollar amount was set for the tax hike agreement. NOW, let's use that figure for raising the levels on payroll tax deductions! That will help the Social Security problem, relieve revenue pressures on our final national budgets, and set the stage for the next step in reducing deficits, debt, and all this asinine blather in the media!
Another thing we have to do to prevent this nightmare from ever occurring in the future is: TAKE RE-DISTRICTING out of the hands of political parties; at the state and federal levels. Set up a bi-partisan commission, with veto power by the President for member selection, and give it the authority to redistrict after each census. That re-districting plan will have to pass an up-or-down vote by both houses of Congress. Let's pressure these cowards into doing what's right for everyone! Guess what! The MONEY IN POLITICS issue just might go away also.
Think about it! The Founders "got it right", after all!
Stay Vigilant!
