where the HELL have the adults all gone...?
WTF is with this obsession with "Super Congresses" and various other political time bombs waiting to blow shit up big time? It's pretty straightforward where the country's fiscal problems lie and how to fix them. One can find any number of credible, rational solutions on DU any day of the week. Social Security isn't part of the problem except that the pigs who raided it don't want to pay it back. We're hemorrhaging trillions of dollars bailing out Wall Street con men, waging unnecessary boutique wars, subsidizing profitable industries, and relieving the rich of their responsibility to help pay for all that.

The solutions are OBVIOUS and SIMPLE. For cryin' out LOUD! Where the FUCK are the adults?

2. No effing joke. They want to tamper with two of our most cost effecive
programs and throw in Pell grants, which seem to be in line for decapitation in this kinder, gentler rip off that Harry Reid has proposed.

6. THE ADULTS are in DC, they represent CORPORATE America!
In this case the adults are dysfunctional and psychotic. They are unfit to serve and are dragging this nation down. The republicans have now revealed their loyalties to The rich and powerful and to the goal of internationalism. They are pursuing their goals of serving corporate interests. It is up to the rest of us to decide, if we are ready to surrender our country to them and their corporate masters. The repigs are doing the bidding of their corporate masters and they are devouring all in site to accomplish their goals. The rest of us be damned.

7. Americans voted for a bunch of insane teabaggers with no concept of how to govern
Who are conflicting with the seasoned corporate-politicians already in office. The result is a fest of name calling and finger pointing worthy of a grade school playground.

8. Maturity is not the right axis. I think, rather, you should be asking about integrity.

11. indeed....
Although at this point I think integrity is WAY to much to hope for, as is leadership. Sober behavior beyond the level of schoolyard bickering and playground fantasies seems a modest expectation to begin with.

9. A short time ago these people were convinced Obama was not an American
We are dealing with morons. It is like playing chess with people who are playing checkers.

12. We clean up the White House!
Today's news: Latvian Voters Back Dissolution Of Parliament To Combat Oligarchs

Latvia votes to dissolve parliament in a bid to clean up politics

The people of Latvia have decided to send their elected representatives packing in a bid to clean up the nation's corruption-tainted politics. Elections for a new parliament are expected in September.

http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15262324,00.html

We in USA should do the same. The White House is corrupted and infected. We need to clean it up and start over for We The People once again!

15. In 2008, the American People gave the Democratic Party:
*The White House

*A HUGE MAJORITY in The House

*A filibuster-proof MAJORITY in The Senate

*A Republican Party choking on its dying breath

*An ARMY Standing in the Streets

*And MOST Importantly,
a HUGE MANDATE for "CHANGE"


HOW in The WORLD did they Fuck Up ALL of that? :shrug:



Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
