6. I'll wait until the "grand bargain" is revealed from behind the curtain.

The hero worship of Obama is kinda weird - is he running for a third term?
Will we be punished for non-worship like the folks in North Korea who didn't cry at the funeral procession?
I thought we were at DU to elect Democrats, not praise the ones who won't be running again, really.
Anyhoo, me and my shadow (since I am evidently beside myself) agree that chained CPI and fiddling with health care to make it more expensive to the middle class and the poor will make it clear that this is not my party any more. There is no need to cut entitlements at all. That's a scam and a sell-out.
So - we shall see? This is cool because being wrong about a "grand bargain" means that social security and medicare and Medicaid won't be cut to please the Masters.
