Impeachment is off the table. Defense spending is sacrosanct. Raising taxes on those who earn

[indepat]

most of the money is not even a consideration. Gutting social security and Medicare and every other program that provides for the general welfare is just fine and dandy. Would it be unfair to say the brazen cravenness of this government without parallel? :patriot:

1. We are going up to Clinton rates after two years.

5. That's what was said when we argued to rescind this poison and here we are now.

I honestly don't see why we will allow them to die this time unless we have already forked over every loose nickle of "ransom" and have nothing left that can be held hostage.

2. Replace "this government" with "these Republicans" and you're spot on.

3. Welcome to the "two" party system!

4. The key to lessening the concentration of wealth and power is disallowing mega mergers.

It really beats me why this isn't the central battle of the left as mega companies also stifle competition.

We fight the consequences of bad government regulation yet fail to recognize it's key role and how it failed it's duties.

6. Impeachment of who? NT

7. Pelosi took impeachment off the table. This administration took prosecution of admitted/suspected

war criminals off the table. This administration continued junior's pre-emptive wars. This administration continued junior's tax cuts for the wealthy into seeming perpetuity. This administration created the so-called Deficit Commission whose sole aim was seemingly to gut social security all the while lowering taxes on the wealthy. This administration has been crucified for getting a mostly Republican, very industry-favorable HCR passed. This administration has relented to seemingly +/-95% of pubs demands without seemingly getting anything significant in return. Who is going to represent the government of, by, and for the people instead of, by and for large corporations? The Scalia-led Supremes? :patriot:
