.... Do the rules on the left change based on spin requirements?

You lefties may be enjoying this, but counting out the influence of the tea party is premature imo, and the cuts run counter to the entire left philosophy.

When it happens, it's gonna hurt.

the tea party is nothing more than the religious right under a new moniker and they did indeed make the boy king's numbers strong enough that the supreme court was able to appoint him.

indeed I have respect for the political might these imbeciles hold

I only know a couple of them, and they ain't imbeesyles. Although they're not slick politico types.

As a matter of fact their foreign policy particularly is close to the lefts'. You almost surely have much in common with them on that one

Which ones would those be, Pete?

They have a foreign policy? I thought they had one policy. No taxation, representation or not.

Cuts will be made, across the board but social programs will get hardest hit. Of course.

Isolationist Eddie. At least from where I'm sitting. But I'd like to hear from a TPer

No real cuts will be made, other than in tax rates. They'll make token cuts in programs they don't like. Heard they're after PBS now. Yeah. That's the problem. Massive PBS spending. We're in a hole- a hole they dug- and their plan is to dig faster.

Well, if you mean "Isolationist" as being against the continuance of the so-called "empire" then, I would have to say the TP and I have common ground.

But when you say "social programs", I guess my question would then shift to "whom" the cuts will "hurt" and what is the nature of the "hurt" you predict? In otherwords, what precisely should we expect will be the repercussions of these cuts? What do we have to look forward to?

What sort of "improvements" will ultimately be seen by the average citizen as a result of all of this?

Let's take the long view, shall we?

The size of the disparity is massive. Massive cuts are coming a la Europe soon to a country near you

You're asking me for details? Even those at the top don't know. Heck they don't WANT to, won't happen until it's forced.

The improvement comes when we're back to reality. Till then, pain.

If they cut welfare to nothing we can always send the needy to a good libs house

Certainly be no point in sending them to a repub's house.
