There will be mass slashing to Social Security and Medicare with no federal capacity left to stimulate the economy. When the public crys out, the Republicans (by nature)will blame it all on Obama. The Rich and powerful will come out of this with pockets full of money and even more influence because the Republicans have sold their souls to the Devil banking that the big corporations will start hiring. Republicans don't know what 'small business' really means, so, they're whole angle is based on 'Trickle Down Economics' again. This won't work because the big corporations will now want lower wages too. By the time you idiots who voted these tea parties into power realize what went wrong, it will be too late.

Over two years, no budget. In fact you know how long it has been since this chamber proposed a budget? Forget passed a budget, proposed a budget? 822 days. That’s a long time. A lot of things have happened in the last 822 days, but proposing a budget is not one of them out of this chamber.
Marco Rubio to the Senate
Independent Republic of Texas,
I wish H Clinton had won.I don't think she would have been as spineless as Obama!He comes out of the gate compromising and by the time he closes the deal he has given away the farm.The right sees him as weak and they have no respect for him.This tiny minority (Tea Party}has terrified both houss of congress.This deal will result in a stronger than ever aristocracy of the super wealthy,while more and more of us will be flipping burgers or workingat W-mart.

Obama has broken the two major campaign promises he made to us. He hasn't gotten us out of the wars and he hasn't increased taxes on everyone making over $250K. Now his breaking of these two promises have come home to roost and his solution is to gut social programs. He is the biggest disappoint in my life. He has lost my vote.
The "Terror" that the Campaign for Americas Future, should read Campaign for Americas Socialist Future, reffers to is one created by this administration in an effort to field an army of what Stalin called "Useful Idiots"! The vast majoriety of this Administrations policies have, clearly been diametrically opposed to the creation of Private Sector jobs! Eric-913730If the Republicans get back in, you can bank on higher health care costs, more cuts to entitlements that will decimate the middle class and the elderly, and a poorer economy as their plans will raise unemployment and stall the economy.
Trickle down economics doesn't work and led to this mess.

The hyper partisan environment is just not conducive to accomplishing things like debt reform. Obama is pulling to the right to get this deal done so we avert economic catastrophe.
There will most certainly be a backlash as a result of the Tea Party and the "my way or the highway" stance of Republicans during these negotiations.
It's clear that Republicans want to end medicaid, medicare and social security, although they will run on "saving" them (which will be a clear lie). The voters won't be swayed so easily.
Additionally, there is not a Republican running that has a plan on how to bring back jobs, much less the economy. Boehner has been saying that with these cuts jobs will come back. The economic reality is that these cuts will stall the economy. Republicans will try and blame Obama for this, but its clear that since the Republicans took over the house the economy has slowed.
Republicans have had the house over 200 days and no word on a jobs bill yet, no word on what they would replace the health care law with, and no clear plans to heal the economy.

You liberals have a lot of nerve ''a big jobs program with billions of dollars for public-works projects, which liberals in his party have clamored for'' WASTED A TRILLION$$$$$ on the stimulas for nothing and now you want to waste more money? No wonder 2010 was such a monumental DEFEAT for the democrat party!
The next defeat peace lover will be for the Republicans. Ryan's medicare privatization bill showed Americans what the Republicans really want.
What are you going to replace health care with? No specifics, just rhetoric. How are you going to reform entitlements? No specifics, just rhetoric.
Finally, what are the Republican plans to reform the economy. All I see is a free ride for big business and more corporate welfare.

Copying and pasting your comment from 2 that was collapsed - that's rich. Well I can do it too. Especially as you still hadn't the guts to respond yet!
This is not a 'liberal' thing, although you obviously love to spin it that way. There have been 8 major recessions in the US since WW2. In all, federal spending had to be increased to hasten economic recovery. Virtualy every economist has been warning vociferously against the kind of non-sensical, drastic spending cuts being demanded. They, like others who understand economics, recognize that the debt must be addressed, but to minimize recovery time and costs, these major spending cuts should wait until after the recovery is well-established. The huge spending cuts insisted upon by the Republicans will only result in another recession within a year. Of course, given the recent history of the party and their bald statements about ousting the current administration being their first priority, it's obvious the party wants exactly that. They have shown their true colors and care only about retaining control and lining their own pockets; if the American people have to suffer, no problem, right?
Anone who espouses the kind of nonsense you are is either a very wealthy business owner or an investor or politician, but most likely you're just someone badly in need of an education. Go take Economics 101 for pete's sake. You're embarrassing yourself.
