The Debt Crisis, etc.

The debt ceiling is still there. Republicans want cuts; Democrats want revenue with their cuts.

Senator McConnell had suggested that the ceiling be raised by President Obama and then he can take the blame for all the debt. Considering the senator stated at the beginning of the presidency that his primary purpose was to see that President Obama was a one term president, this deal is suspect. Now it is the Reid-McConnell bill. About two thirds of the country say the Bush is primarily responsible for the debt.

What happened to the good of the country? What happened to the jobs the Republicans promised? Why are they preoccupied with Abortion? Why are they rigid about cuts but no revenue? Why do the big oil companies deserve big subsidies?

Those who say we can't tax the wealthiest 1 percent because it will mean jobs are forgetting the facts. They were taxed during the Clinton years and jobs soared.

The Republicans seem to think the general population will believe their lies if they say them often enough. Unfortunately some will. I used to be a registered Republican. That was the old Republican party. I am now an Independent leaning toward the Democrats.

McConnell is at it again. He won't confirm Elizabeth Warren for the Consumer Bureau. He won't confirm anyone. He doesn't want it. BiG Business doesn't want it.

What happened to the good of the country?

The Republicans want to protect big business not the country.
