You missed those that think they can just ride the coattails of everybody already in the fight. They just figure "the other guys will take care of this for me".
Hey, I'm just here keeping it real about our President. I really do believe a lot of what our politicians argue over is complete BS and just a smoke screen to avoid the larger issues that actually take some serious thinking, blood, sweat, and tears to actually fix. How can they ever reduce the national debt? Right now, it is more than a complete year of GDP. If they taxed everybody in the nation at 100% and did not spend anything for that year, then it could be paid down. Oh yeah, if you add in the future liability for medicare/medicaid/social security, you are looking at something between 80 trillion and 100 trillion over the next 30 years. The medicare/medicaid/social security liability is not listed on the federal balance sheet. Looks like the only way to get through that is to cut benefits and raise taxes. Fun times for everybody down the road.
There is almost no possible paletable way to fix what is wrong with our economy and by extention the world economy. The main reason they keep pushing for these restriction is so that when their inevitable SHTF, lead based projectiles don't come flying back.
Flame away...
