It isn't both sides right now. This shit needs to happen now but Republicans are slowing it down in an i'll fated posturing effort. The Tea Party is quickly losing traction and likely won't be a talking point this time next year.
Why right now? Oh, because the WH threatens to cut off SS payments? How bout cutting some of the other entitlement programs that are not needed. Do we really need research on some fags penis? Yes, there was money put aside for that shit. I have to live within my spending limits. So should the government.
The dems are backing the Repukes into a corner, making them out to be the bad boys. Obama talks about how in 06' the raising was more of a political move, that is why he voted against it. It is now too. It may not of started out like that, but, the longer this takes and the longer the Dems do their speel and the Repukes don't climb on board. The worse it makes the Repukes look. Points for the Dems.
It's all the Repukes fault.
. What a joke. Neither side not budging, yet, only the Repukes are the "bad guys". All the while, the dems use the people as bartering tools to get their bullshit debt limit passed.
It is always both sides my man. The sooner you realize that NEITHER party really wants to help anyone , just themselves and their special interest groups, the better. We are screwed.
