| 41. The Budget Reform Act has a "Magic Wand" |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-04-11 08:52 PM by soryang
Why are the rules of the Senate which were used to block meaningful change set aside when it comes to the Super Commmittee recommendations? Because Friedmanite austerity and draconian cuts in the social safety net are what Obama and Wall Street have been seeking all along.
Obama isn't a king when is comes to his constituenies' goals and needs but when it comes to what Wall Street Chicago School ideologues want, Diaster Capitalism gets put on greased skids. Obama and his "helpless party" are about to cram austerity down our throats.

Ah, so a New Republic editor predictably accuses "the left" of "magical thinking" |
