Question Speaker Bohener... how do we enact an austerity program

[nadinbrzezinski]

and invest in the country at the same time?

This is kind of 180 from each other, isn't it?

No, don;t expect our heroic press corp (chuckle) to ask this question, or any other relevant questions.

1. It's so very easy

Step 1: Cut programs to the poor and working classes
Step 2:
Step 3: Prosperity!

It couldn't be simpler, and the Republicans have just the mind for it.

3. SOme of these ideocrats are orwellian, I know

2. I've come to understand that "austerity" means the rich have come collecting...

...and their bill for "financing" the nation tax-free is due. That's where all that austerity sacrifice goes-- straight into the pockets of the robber barons.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Well it always does

and it is time we take a lesson from the tea part and build a parallel organization to the Democratic party and challenge them from the left, yes that means primary every and each one of them... You will lose most of them... but.
