Democrats Supporting Medicare Cuts? The Catfood Commission's Dangerous Stupidity Mutates

I feel almost like this will be a full-time job for many of us: trying to undo the stupidity racing throughout the political leadership when it comes to the foolish belief that we have some deficit or debt crisis. WE DON'T. It's phony. And the belief in the phony "crisis" is literally going to kill people--thanks to the insane assault on our budget that is being blessed in a bi-partisan way--and, according to a report just now up, the silliness and stupidity is expanding.

From The Wall Street Journal:

The effort of a bipartisan group of senators to attack the long-term budget deficit has won notable new support in recent days, raising lawmakers' hopes of reaching a deal within weeks.

Sens. Mark Warner (D., Va.) and Saxby Chambliss (R., Ga.), who are leading the push, believe they have the tentative backing of 31 senators: 16 Republicans and 15 Democrats.

Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson, who co-chaired the White House's deficit-reduction commission last year, have embraced the effort and launched a new nonprofit organization to raise public awareness about the debt and possible solutions. .............(more)

First off, let's get something straights: THERE IS NO DEFICIT OR DEBT CRISIS. I explain this in detail in, "It's Not Raining, We're Getting Peed On: the Scam of the Deficit Crisis".

We have plenty of money in the country--if we are willing to have a serious discussion about the robbery that has taken place over the past 30 years. But, we aren't having a serious discussion. .............(more)

1. TOTAL POLITICAL SCUM

It is time for all congress people to lose their pensions, health care, and any perks.
This should apply to all past, present and future congress people.
If the people of this country are not worth being helped then congress people do not deserve anything from the people.

2. Wasn't there a part of the Health Insurance Bill that passed, that took 500 billion from Medicare?

I seem to recall that being in that Bill. Of course Democrats said it was all waste spending they were taking but it is still money taken from Medicare..

3. Those Democrats who are taking part in this will NOT be forgotten at the next election

Walker think he "won", let's see what he says when he is up for recall

Democrats will face the same scorn if they push the repuke agenda

4. They should not be called Democrats.

Scumcrats
Richcrats
Asscrats
