My one question is: Is chained CPI on the table? Apparently, We The (little) People do not deserve an answer.

Rather, we get a 'strong resolute President who directs 'leaders' of congress to, DO IT NOW! Do what? Hammer out a 4000 page budget over the weekend to deliver to their members on Sunday night so they can vote on it on Monday without reading it (Let alone We The People reading it)? Because WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO OVER THE CL-I-I-I-I-I-I-F AND D-I-I-I-I-I-I-E ON MONDAY!

Obama and our Reps knew what was on the table back in 2011 but we only heard about that through strategic leaks and when unions, SS advocates, and others (including those on DU) tried to rally people to protest, we were told that we were Firebaggers and that the main street media always lies... we were mocked and ridiculed.

Ah well, our elected "leaders" have been lying to us for a year and a half (in order to, supposedly, play some master chess game) and, instead of having the opportunity for open debate and to petition our government, we are all led by the nose to the totally fictional FISCAL CLIFF!!!!
