re: #64 aagcobb

Going pass January 1st without a deal will not create an economic catastrophe. It will put pressure on the House to accept a deal which can pass with bipartisan support when people see the new bite out of their first paychecks in January.

It’s fabricated hysteria to get the sheeple to accept being kicked in the balls by a rich guy driving by on his Bentley.

If the Dems are smart, they’ll be in front of every available microphone giving America a choice - we want to keep the tax-cuts for those making less than a (Dr. Evil voice) quarter-million dollars while ensuring there are no cuts whatsoever to Social Security, Medicare, or drastic Defense cuts. The Republicans want to cut Medicare, Social Security, health-care all in the name of protecting millionaires and military contractors.

After that, sit back and let Benedict the Bronze come forward with a plan that they will accept in the House, Senate, and White House.
