2. They will cut, and find ways to hide the cuts so that no one can figure out how to stop them
until it's too late.

3. They're going to try to cut s.s. In fact, they will
unless we can stop them, and I don't think we can stop them. We can't even get Obama to fire anyone, no matter how much they deserve it. Hell, we can't even get them to apologize for straight forward insults.

4. (1) They will cut,
(2) Obama and the Democrats can kiss 2012 goodbye, and
(3) Progressives and other left-leaning people will be blamed because we didn't clap loud enough to save Tinkerbell.

6. agreed, i should have been more specific.
i am under the impression that whatever is recommended is what will be done by congress.

more than likely why i worded it the way i did, i'm guessing.

7. I believe there will be 'cuts' proposed and some or all
Of them passed by the lame duck.

Now those 'cuts' can take alot of different forms.
And probably designed to keep
The torches and pitch forks parked right
By the TV.

9. We can hope those lame f ers lose everything and they can
find out what the hell it feels like to be homeless or under so much stress because you can't make the bills, then have a heart attack and stress out over how the hell you're going to pay that bill too.

Besides they have to come home......Shunning can be a great punishment.

11. They will "reform" it for the general good
and use that as political campaign fodder, but the result in essence will be a cut. They will just slap a happy sounding name on the legislation.
