How Obama wants to prevent future Mitt Romneys from sheltering massive amounts of wealth

[bigtree]

6. no one got 'tossed' anywhere

No one, including Obama, believes these proposals will see the light of day. I'll agree that he's got a foolish political strategy, but I don't see where he had any reason to believe his combination of cuts and tax loophole reductions would EVER be accepted by this Congress.

You can make a pretty righteous argument that the cpi nonsense is just one jackass, kick in the shin proposal - but, there's NOTHING to make me believe that this proposal will do anything more than provide fodder for over-the-top political swipes like yours. Hope that tact actually works to kill this cpi nonsense once and for all. I personally think it just feeds existing cynicism or just warps into the rest of the personal attacks which serve, for some, as debate and argument.

So far, during this President's term, SS and Medicare have been strengthened and enhanced a couple of times. It's been pointed out in several posts here, so I'm not trying to start a long series of links and posts. I'll just say that, you can't show me ONE instance where the president has 'tossed' the 'poor, the middle class and the elderly' under ANYWHERE, outside of this foolish, but doa, budget document.

So, I'm not buying it, bowens . . . not in this thread or the last one you posted your diatribes in.
