(53,661 posts)Deals which the Baggers want.. I'll go with the premise that BFK may be off base, but coming from a political angle, would you answer the points he states are the problem?
How much do we want the Bagger involved in monetary policy? WE can't even trust to not shut down the government and default because of, well, take your pick:
End SS, end Medicare, Medicaid, no UEB, no PP, personhood laws, the Ryan Budget.
While my assumptions may have been off base, and please forgive as I am working on 8-10 things at once on my machine right now, not giving full attention, I can't believe anything that comes out of that filthy HoR is going to help anyone but the GOP. Yes, some Democrats did vote today with them, but what would they do with anything they got?
This is Darryl Issa's HoR there. And John Boehner and Paul Ryan is all part of that cabal. I can't see any reason to trust them. Sanders and Kucinich, yes. But Sanders is retiring and so is Kucinich. They won't be there to steer that bunch of maniacs.
But a a matter of principle, I want all these transactions out there to be seen.
