1. Everything I've seen so far makes it neither grand nor a bargain.

2. Some may not be, but I can't even get a straight answer from my own Democratic

representative (who has a great record on, say, women's issues and environmental issues) about it.

I simply don't trust the Democratic party on this anymore.

The fact that we are even having this conversation when a Democrat is in the White House says it all.

3. I support the Maddow priorities, not that of the cat food commission (Simpson Boles)

In other words:
Raise taxes on the wealthy
Treat all income the same regardless of source
Cut the DOD
Single Payer health care
Raise the cap on Social security

NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY OR MEDICARE NEEDED.

PERIOD.

Stop pushing the priorities of the 1%

4. 'Not before Medicare is allowed to negotiate drug prices'....

'Not before Medicare is allowed to negotiate drug prices'..

That's the right answer to demands on either side to cut Medicare...

(*this was a comment in the link above*... Which I've borrowed for DU. . because it is such a perfect response )

5. Unlike Obama, other elected Democrats still need voters to vote for them.

The President seems to forget he's not the only game in town and that's how any President puts the lame in duck faster than you can say midterm turnout.

6. The meme should be 'The Grand Betrayal'

7. obama and his moderate republican ideas are not universally worshipped outside of DU lol nt
