This is one of the most insane, traitorous acts by an American political party in our nation's history. It cannot stand, even if there goes my 401K.

From the Press Room, in the final days, he should announce that he has instructed the DOJ and SEC to investigate any put-options levied against US debt by Congressional Members, Staff and their families under the USA Patriot Act (the act that removed the term "foreign" from the definition of terrorism).

1) Paul Ryan's tax plan uses savings from Obamacare, which, of course, needed to be added to the budget.

2) Building the Keystone pipeline will require protection from an angry populace, federally financed infrastructure to get the pipeline in place and to maintain it, tax breaks for the owners for "creating" jobs along the route, and subsidized federal cleanup whenever there's a leak or anything goes wrong.

3) No regulation of polluter means that the government will pick up the tab for any cleanup, since the companies that cause it will file for bankruptcy to avoid accountability.

4) Ending Wall Street reforms means we will be bailing out Wall Street on a regular basis.

5) Means testing medicare will result in another expensive federal bureaucracy that will cost more than it saves.

But the global economy will get it if these demands are enacted, anyway.

The Right Wingers keep casting their lines with out with nothing but their brand of insane fringe extremism as bait, and the Democrats bite every single time.

What makes it worse if the media loves it because this type of dysfunctional political entertainment is good for ratings

I keep hearing random talking head claiming The Affordable Healthcare Act is very unpopular, when asked what exactly is unpopular about it, you hear nothing but crickets chirping

I'd be nailing the rethugs, like Karl Rove on steroids. Super easy to accomplish too! Talk Rove's playbook and turn it against them.

Voila. No more Republicans.
