1. Deep cuts, shallow cuts or no cuts--it doesn't matter.

...the US economy is in trouble.

2. All According To Plan

What better way to evict that Kenyan out of the White House than to blame him for the economy?

3. Except he's not the one insisting on the cuts, the rethugs are. nt

4. Doesn't Matter, The Gullibles Will Believe It's ALL The Fault Of The Kenyan

They'll say they were forced to cut because the Kenyan destroyed the economy, and they will buy it hook, line and sinker.

5. The real question...

is what do the FOX economists believe? Those will be the only opinions that the Republicans will believe.

6. K&R-But the republicans are not interested in that stuff-God Hates Facts!

They just want more anger and blame and hard times...till the election in 2012.

They have no concern for the American people except as potential voters.

7. They speak of "shared sacrifice"

But until they impose a surtax on the wealthy Wall Street profiteers, the sacrifice they request is not truly "shared". Yes, this will hurt economic growth and combined with a surge in oil prices, could well produce the double dip. This is what happens when Republicans are placed in charge.
