The Deficit SoapBox Drama: “Did I Shave My Legs For This?”

-
Roanoke Times, 8-3-11, Pg 1;6, Committee to Reduce US Deficit
-
Why does this whole Washington manufactured drama remind one of Deana Carter’s song:
"Did I Shave My Legs For This?,"

Jon Stewart well summed up Obama’s performance:

-
The Roanoke Times summarized the major point of the “compromise deal” as “it cuts spending by $2.1 Trillion over the next 10 years” or $0.2 Trillion per year.
-
Hello!  Obama’s budget, including this year’s budget, adds $1.4 Trillion per year of spending to our existing $14.4 Trillion debt.
So every year we’re going $1.4 minus $0.2 = $1.2 Trillion per year MORE in debt!
How can anyone declare that this is a positive outcome on any level?
What Obama did was to kick the can down the road past the 2012 elections.
-
What Obama also did was to scare the hell out of the world-wide financial markets, got investors spooked and rattled and drove the stock markets down 1,000 points in the DOW (so far).
Obama sure reminds one of the song by Bobby Bare - "The Winner - and other losers":

The bottom line is we just took out another multi-Trillion-dollar credit card that we’re going to use to pay the interest on all the credit cards we already have maxed-out, and then Obama and the Democrats are going to continue to SPEND, BORROW AND TAX.
-
Washington has spent most of my contributions to the Social Security and Medicare “Trust Fund” for other stuff;
I though I’d be gone before the roof falls in; now I’m not so sure!
-
The 2012 Elections will be the most important elections of our life!
