looking out for corporate interests, always and forever. And until the American people understand this blatant truth, we will always be a day late and a dollar short, and continue to make excuses for the "reporters" whose very livelihood depends on whether or not they tow the corporate meme with their corporate bosses' financial interests in mind.

... calling itself "news." It's all hogwash with an agenda of robbing us. All of it.

Large defense cuts

Middle class tax increases

A possible new recession or at least slower growth

A decline in corporate profits

How are you going to explain that to your constituents?

sure Boeing and other stakeholders in the defense budget will be very surprised. (That includes those who profit from the NSA (Homeland Security money rackers).

Quite true!

...this is a good for all to read, as some are not convinced that this whole "cliff" business is nothing but a shell game. If I had to give one word to describe the GOP it would be RUSE.

Well, the trouble with our conservative friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.

'as long as the media let an entire political party invent a new reality every day, it will keep on doing it. Every day.'

Thanks for posting, WilliamPitt

...But in early 2009, when Obama began pushing his $787 billion stimulus plan, the GOP began describing stimulus as an assault on free enterprise—even though House Republicans (including Paul Ryan) voted for a $715 billion stimulus alternative that was virtually indistinguishable from Obama’s socialist version. The current Republican position seems to be that the fiscal cliff’s instant austerity would destroy the economy, which is odd after four years of Republican clamoring for austerity, and that the cliff’s military spending cuts in particular would kill jobs, which is even odder after four years of Republican insistence that government spending can’t create jobs.....

^*(^&% Liars and Con Men!

Where'd you get all your information? Is this you Carl?

mismashed bullshit, I can't even find a place to start.

Whatever 'sources' you are getting your info from are terrible.
They have not only left you uninformed but divorced from reality.

using Pox News blatant propaganda for cover.

Is expensive and my son and his wife are no where as rich as the Obama's..24 million is chicken feed to the millionaires and billionaires of the USA.

As for the media fox blantantly lies. You seem to be very right wing thinking. Your common sense and logic are very unlike mine.

This K &R

many years. Thank you

the liberal media.

Great article.

They have to put food on their family, too. And just like whores; they'll perform outrageous acts for money. If they DON'T pass along the propaganda they lose their paycheck.

In fact, it's not "reporting" at all- it's "repeating".

Man, I sure miss The Horse...

....short memory on the dems role in the current problem.

1)clinton/glass-stegal
2)dems voting for war
3)dems allowing raid on ss funds
4)obama/cat food commission
5)obama failure to prosecute bankers
6)obama bringing bankers into his inner circle
7)etc...

blindly loyal dems, media, back room politics, general lack of transparency, and collusion between the parties make it impossible for all the cards to be on the table. it's all about fooling the people into supporting the system.

is the godawful truth to power, also. can the dems stand it?

bout time. truth to power. The rethugs can't stand it.

for the Monday crowd

keep heading for the camera claiming that this is not serious proposal,when they are afraid to put anything on the table.

The problem with cuts for republiCONS is the fact that they aren't going to hurt people.
