Bending

This morning I'm hearing that several leading GOP voices are calling for "rates and revenues" to be on the table.  Of course the GOP will bend.  Bend.  Bend. 

The larger question remains:  Will spending be cut at all?  Will entitlements be cut?  Will anything at all be reduced? 

We have to bend.  The Dem control the media and have already painted an unrelenting picture of the GOP.  We were even blamed because we did not let Obama get immigration reform when he got into office.

Let us rewind that tape.  In 2008 Obama was sworn in as president.  The Senate and the House were Democratically controlled.  Completely.  Obama could have anything he wanted passed.  Anything.  In fact immigration might have been easier than Obamacare turned out to be.

Obama spent all his fuel on Obamacare.  It was a struggle even with majorities.  In March 2010, it passed 372 to 33 in the House and 68 to 21 in the Senate.  Not one Republican voted for it.  A total of 39 Democrats voted against it.

I think anything the GOP does or even goes along on will win them ZERO benefit in the media and the polls and the next election.  We are despised haters of the middle class and lovers of the rich.  There's nothing we can do about that.  Let us not bend only to get our country past this largest of the financial cliffs ahead. 

Yes, there are many more financial cliffs ahead.  Inflation, more citizens on entitlements, much of the middle class squeezed by Obamacare, states in bankruptcy. 

Will there be no end to our bending?
