No. He's been a dork for years in my book. This is just the latest example.

He has had a few good moments in his political life, though.

Nooo..... I don't think the status quo is a great way of staying solvent. It's entirely possible these automatic cuts are the only way of reining in the budget.

Governments spend money...that is what they do.
A double dip recession will not help anyone.

I think the issue really has little to do with the government. The real issue is the lack of a manufacturing base to cause the economy to rebound.

It is a world economy now...I do not know if Americans are willing to pay the higher prices for stuff made here. Plus if things made here cost more to buy they would in turn be higher on the world markets and less competitive abroad. It is indeed a quandary.
