Not A Damned Dime!

It seems the White House thinks the "deal" is a good one. It is nothing of the sort. In order to get a few random members of the disloyal opposition on board, the deal guts what the rich pay, and manages to increase what the poor pay.

Mr. President, for someone who has such a way with words, you don't seem to know jack shit about numbers, and the clowns you have surrounded yourself with show their knowledge every time they bend over, a gaping nothingness.

But since you do seem to understand politics, let me try this on you. This pile of dung will increase the deficit. There's no question there. So in two years, it will be presidential season again, and they will be back screaming about no jobs, no jobs, no jobs, taxes, taxes, taxes and deficits, deficits, deficits. And they will be laying the blame for that on you, and they will point to this bill, with its tax cuts about to expire as proof you don't care about any of it. And you're trying to push this pile of crap? What are you? A complete fucking moron?

The next two years are going to be complete and utter paralysis. In your State of the Union speech you should tell the country the truth, that the GOP is the Sheriff of Nottingham, and are doing all they can to steal from the poor to give to the rich. That the state of the Government is a complete damn shambles, and if anyone anywhere thinks their government is going to do a damn thing, they're wrong because nothing is going to get through Congress.

No, this plan should die, and should do so immediately. The GOP has taken the nation hostage for their delusions and are doing their absolute best to turn this nation into a kleptocracy. You cannot make deals with them, and that you made this deal and were blindsided the next day by them should have showed you that.

The story you're in is "The Dog and the Scorpion" and they're not the dog.
