But to get Dems to accept that, GOP would probably have had to accept tax increases; defense cuts may be unpalatable, but tax cuts are poison.

Just a guess.

NO i mean they should've put the equivillent sacred democrat cow on the automatic cuts. Republican's defense spending was put up there, not a very fair trade.

Sure it was. Defense is the Republican's #2 priority. Medicare is the Democrats #2 priority. Taxes are the Republicans #1 priority. Social Security is the Democrats #1 priority.

Don't you get it? You weren't getting a deal where the Dems give up their sacred cow and the Republicans give up a slab of bacon.

The democrats priorities sure sounds anti american and anti economic recovery. They fail.

Oh but defense spending totally helps our economy.

The governments job is to enforce laws and defend the country not to provide social services, that is the job of religious and charitable organizations.

You might want to tell your Republican friends to run on a platform to abolish social security and medicare. Let's see what the country thinks is government's job.

The county right now is full of really stupid voters. Basically the result of the boomer hippy generation voting in a bunch of government welfare, social programs without regards to paying for them. We are on the path to being Greece. We don't gain ANY monetary or scientific value with government social programs, they are expenditures. You have people that are voting to receive FREE shit without regards to paying for it, who would vote against that?

1. Ineptocracy

*_Ineptocracy_****(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers*

Use in a sentence:

The occupy protesters are part of the ineptocracy movement.

Once again, if you want the opposite, find a plutocracy. Russia is a great example. Go there.

Churchill pointed out that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. 10:58 may be right that most voters vote stupidly. However, even the brightest of us will never agree which vote is stupid.

As 11:40 intimated, once you restrict the choice to some privileged minority, freedom disappears.

Is that you, Ron Paul? I would think your decades in service to your country would have taught you the proper use of apostrophes and commas. Perhaps they are superfluous, along with public education and social safety net that you deem unnecessary?
