Well, I suspect you and I will never have a meeting of the minds, Ray.  That's OK, plenty of folks feel like me and plenty feel like you. In my opinion, fixing the deficit and fixing unemployment at the same time are mutually exclusive. When times are tough, government has to take on debt and spend. Deficits are handled once the economy starts moving again. The problem I have with Republicans is that they never made any noise about the deficits and debt until the economy went south. Then they raise a fuss - which is exactly at the wrong time. They were wrong during the great depression and they are wrong now. Obama's problem is that he wasted almost four years trying to negotiate with them. I sympathize, because that would have been my first inclination too. In hindsight, which is always 20/20, it was a mistake. Scott

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
