Party Games

They're on a roll now aren't they?

Obama and Boehner going on TV to point fingers and tell the people who bothered to watch them how much the "debt crisis" is the other party's fault based on what they want to do regarding this attempt at a "deal" to raise the debt limit.

Obama stated that it's the Republicans fault if things go bad because they won't stray from idealist positions on this deal.  Boehner says it's the democrats fault for not ponying up enough cuts.

Both are clowns who make the whole country look absurd.

If the U.S. defaults on it's debt, it has less to do with the current round of deal making than it does the previous 10 years or so of un-controlled spending by the government by both parties.

Obama loves to try to distance himself from the current crop of problems as though he has only been involved in government politics since becoming president.  He would dearly love for people to forget he was in congress long enough to vote often to increase spending with everyone else while he was a congressman, making the current problem what it is.

One thing all the political pundits and self proclaimed experts love to do is proclaim how complicated everything is.  That's a boon to them that complexity.  The more complex they can make things seem, the more they can try to justify the necessity of keeping people like them around.


The current round of haggling to get an agreement is not the reason the U.S. will have to default on it's debt if one can't be reached.  That's just a smokescreen to cover the complete incompetence of our elected officials to handle the purse strings responsibly over recent history.
