WATCH OUT THE DEMOCRATIC CAVE MEN ARE COMING

And they are carrying a pointy little stick to poke in the eye of the club swinging media fuelled corporate framers of all argument
If there is an extension of the tax cuts for the very rich, this will be a failure, Democrats cannot be cave men on this issue you must reframe the argument and argue it differently.
It is presently argued that the deficit will be cut by seven hundred billion dollars over ten years if these tax cuts for the very wealthy are allowed to sun set. Do that for two years, and reduce the deficit by seventy billion a year. It then depends on who wins the next election cycle as to whether or not these extra tax cuts get reinstated. That’s reframing the argument in the American Peoples best interests not the wealthy, they don’t need it.
Now let’s do some fuzzy liberal math. It didn’t get much applause but this last budget prepared by the Obama administration was one hundred and twenty two billion dollars less than the previous budget prepared by the Bush administration. Now if the next two budgets were to do the same that would be two hundred and forty four billion dollar deficit reduction. If you add in the sun set provision you are now up to three hundred and eighty billion, and you haven’t even looked at cutting the biggest budget in the universe, the military A hundred billion a year here would hardly be noticeable but it would be close on to six hundred billion in two years in deficit reduction.
I know that I can be challenged on the math and that is fair. But there is very little downside by holding tough on this tax cut issue. And as President Obama is so fond of saying, make no mistake about this. I say Social security reduction or privatization is off the table. This is a red herring.
One final thought and that is the Democrats must come out en masse and expose these disingenuous Republicans for their disregard for democracy and lack of governance skills and nip in the bud their quest for power or WE THE PEOPLE will be no more.

OPEN QUESTRION TO ANY POLITICIAN

When was the last time as a politician you went to bed hungry? When was the last time you tossed and turned all night long worrying about how you would pay the electrical bill? You privileged asshat politicians are so far from the real world of MY FELLOW AMERICANS that you can’t smell the stink from the last administration. We the people are hurting, we are not lazy or stupid we are out of work. And being foreclosed on by the financial elite We need jobs. The peacock Republicans now hold the house and think they own the world, bring on the jobs. And don’t forget it was the GOP that caused this fiasco. I am not wrong when I quote Dick Chaney as saying “ Deficits don’t matter” they don’t matter when Republicans are making them they only matter when obstructionism and wanting the President to fail is the order of the day.
The American people have just made a serious blunder in allowing the Republicans access to the power of the house. However all is not lost the best is yet to come They must produce what it is we the People demand and that is jobs, jobs, jobs. It is evident all over everywhere that the Republicans only want he President to fail. The Republicans don’t give a rats ass in fifteen thousand years about you who are hurting, and on the dole. The corporate sponsors of their campaign are more important. They don’t want to govern they only want power. To reward the masters who keep them where they are

Don’t let the coming arguments be framed about deficit reduction and cutting entitlements like social security or Medicare smaller government is not the answer, smarter government is. Let the bush tax cuts sunset and if you can’t get the republicans to extend the cuts for those under two hundred and fifty thousand a year let them sunset as well. And let the Republicans be accused of not wanting to see the middle class prosper in favor of the 2% millionaire billionaire elite

One final thought here Mr. President these obstructionist asshat opposition party players will never play nice, so my advice is never give a sucker an even break don’t give an inch of ground. Parliamentary procedures are yours for the taking. Take them and save America that’s Your duty sir to get Americans working. All else pales in importance. Number one priority JOBS.
