Reply #22: yes it is

why the hell wouldn't it be? i guess my opinions don't matter to you because i'm not IMMEDIATELY affected because i've not been unemployed for less than 2 years? i feel for those millions of people, and the working poor people who may suffer a slight increase in taxes. and realize that this will put a strain on a lot of people in the SHORT TERM. but it does affect me (and all of us) in the LONG TERM if the deficit explodes, if the economy doesn't recover as millions entering the job market, if social security is slowly eroded as the largest generation ever is hitting retirement, if my kids are subject to the INSANE and growing deficit and its economic & politcal forces. the neoliberals are playing the LONG CON...and they have you busy playing tic-tac-toe against people who should be your allies...like me.
