Well, the Prez couldn’t resist. He came back on the Ryan budget with a partisan attack. Republicans responded to the response in kind. People like me were stupid to even consider that we might get anything else.
Serious leaders would immediately look to see what is the same in the two plans and work to implement the agreements. Reform the corporate tax code for example. Fix Social Security, perhaps. But no – we have no leaders in government at the moment.
So it looks like Congress will do nothing beyond grandstanding and make the 2012 election a referendum. Both sides think they can bury the other with the same tired old sloganeering. It’s going to be a long year and a half.
I say throw the bums out. President Obama has to go too, regardless of our alternative, because his office sets the tone – he is the leader of leaders. Like Bush before him, President Obama continues to select the low road. We need a President that can put our interests ahead of her own.
We need to ignore the rhetoric and vote only for results.
