Here's How You Know The Debt Compromise Is Good...

[Jeezy]

Everyone from both sides seems to hate it.

Paul Krugman on why we're cutting way TOO MUCH: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/01/opinion/the-president-surrenders-on-debt-ceiling.html?_r=1

Ron Paul on why we're not actually cutting ANYTHING:
When a Cut is Not a Cut

Democrats are mourning this as a victory for the Republicans.

Republicans are doing the reverse.

The essence of compromise? Making sure that NOBODY is happy.

If partisanship is bad, then bipartisanship is twice as bad. When the Democrats and Republicans in Washington agree on something, hold onto your wallet.

In our compromises we frequently do pick the worst of both worlds, but thats because our elected leaders like the worst things about both worlds (mostly, the control aspects).

A totally ridiculous premise. Angering lots of people does not magically translate into something good.

the daily show/jon stewart was spot on:
Jon Stewart on the debt deal: ‘So, the Democrats got hosed’ | Raw Replay

it's funny to me that when it's the subject of their raises the bipartisan decision does not come down to the last second it's passed within seconds of it's reading.

And thw wingnuts on the right don't need a reason to get angry. When they got nothing to get angry about, they just make stuff up, like kenyan birth certificates

It does when they are corrupt or stupid!

I don't see what the Republicans compromised on. Obama is spineless.

It is obvious that he is now 0 for 2 having did this same caving in last December with extending the tax cuts on the wealthy despite him saying otherwise over and over again. I have no doubt that the Thanksgiving super committee results will be more of the same.

President Obama is standing in the middle of a bar fight against a bunch of psycho's where the enemy has pipes, chains, guns and knives and he is asking what weight the boxing gloves should be and if they are going 12 or 15 rounds. Its hopeless.

This assumes that Obama does not want to cut spending, taxes, SS etc.

I think he's a center-right politician, who campaigned on a center-left platform.

It certainly is looking more and more like that every day.
