In response to the thread constructively criticizing my post, here is my response.
One, my source of information that the Federal Government was able to save police forces and fire houses, was from the President himself. And, I know you are not going to think that is a valid source, for you perceive him as a man of lies.
I would argue, that it is very dangerous to think in extremes, or black and white. In fact, that is considered a cognitive distortion in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I implore you, to try and see the other side. I understand that maybe something that the other side did angered you, might of done something horrible in your life, but if you are religious, I think you might understand the concept of forgiveness.
You are right. It is both sides that is responsible for the debt crisis. I also want to point out, that there is 24 hours in the day, and the President needs sleep or he would even be a worse leader if your mind could comprehend that. Which means, there is only so much he can do, as with anyone in office. They are human, not machines.
