"for many house republicans the legislation was their best offer in the continuing standoff with president obama and congressional democrats."
"even before he has reached a sweeping budget and debt deal with mr.boehner, mr. obama is trying to sell his concession to congress democrats, many of whom fear a 'grand bargain' will undercut their party's ability in the 2012 campaign to use republican's support of deep cuts in medicare, medicaid, and social security against them."

the willingness of whores form both wings of the ruling elite to shamelessly manipulate public opinion with emotional issues is an accepted fact of political life in the third republic...that it is a moribund as the french third republic is a fact of life that is becoming more apparent to its citizenry with every passing day...the creeps on wall street are in a psychotic state of mind as the desperately hope that the whores will find enough cash to save their sorry asses by bilking the taxpayer and dispossessing the elderly of promised entitlements that their taxes were supposed to fund...convinced one day that their hired hands in congress will do their bidding...terrified the next that there is no more to be had...a series of economic psychotic episodes as the dow jones roller-coasters through week after week...clearly the billions the whores have shoveled to their handlers are not enough to mollify their greed and fear...those shits will not rest until they have all the gold and diamonds they can lay their hands on ( the treasury is not printing ten dollar bills this year but they're printing hundreds like they're free...what's that say? hyper-inflation anyone? soon the currency will be useful only for tersive purposes...how , i wonder, will the hoarders digest gold? )...both side sin the "debate" are behaving like fools...one side purposefully delivering legislation it knows the other cannot accept so they can claim a lack of commitment to reigning in the debt and the other denying any sort of compromise so it can use the intransigence of the other as political leverage...meanwhile what's left of the economy continues to behave as erratically as its wall street doyens...the upshot as i see it is that there is no fix that is palatable to the elite...growth is over and they are stuck holding the bag for all those sunk costs in the current economic infrastructure...they are desperate to find a way out that does not exist and so are left to play at politics while anyone with an ounce of intellect is trying to figure out how best to weather the inevitable collapse...time to unplug the tv and reconnect with your neighbors...we are all going to need one another when the real post-industrial economy kicks in. bear that in mind as the foul slide into the surreal 2012 presidential campaign kicks off in earnest...no-one interested in the job is capable of dealing with the dilemmas...we will have to do it ourselves...adapting to local conditions...there's a toolkit for that ( even though it is a bit rusty...consigned to neglect as we were opiated with electronic media) it's called culture...check it out.
ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS IDEOLOGY

so boehner takes a powder and the recriminations fly...it's the party that cannot say yes versus the tax and spend heirs of the new deal...frankly i am weary of the whores, their pontificating, their condescension, and their smug self-righteousness...i vote but these lame bastards do not represent me...the system is vile, corrupt, skewed towards wealth, and deserves to die in a lake of fire fueled by the reams of legislation these creeps use to dissemble about their motives for doing what they do...complicating an already convoluted causality in an effort to take no responsibility for their actions and their impact on the people they purport to represent..."the people's business" has always been a foul cesspit of lies and distortion designed to shift wealth in an upward direction and legalize various forms of extortion...there has never really been an expression of populist rage that wasn't co-opted by some wing of the elite for their own ends... ( how many sharecroppers and dirt farmers from tennesee, alabama, and virginia who never owned a slave were sucked into the "sacred cause " of the confederacy and states rights by the rhetoric of the plantation elite as they endeavored to preserve their position of economic superiority in the southern tier of states? the people's will is never truly expressed, it is simply modified and fed back as a rationalization for unpalatable acts... elites are scum. ) yes most people are unhappy about tax increases ( and the poorer you are in fiscal terms the more of your income, proportionally, you pay in taxes...period) but one has to wonder how the people will feel as social services evaporate and wealth gets to keep more...a distortion of an anti tax stance that purports to represent the will of the people but serves to aggrandize wealth at the people's expense ( what cash is left in the pipeline will go to wealth ... banks "too big to fail" and politically powerful industries will still be subsidized...it is the way of things )...it may be time to call a halt to the hamiltonian third republic by refusing to recognize the politicians everywhere as nothing more than the manipulative slime they are....fuck these people.
